Topic: Help With ID For This Jelly Fish Paperweight

[liamb123]

If anyone can help with an ID for this that would be amazing!
I feel that it’s modern, but not sure.
The Jelly fish faintly glows in the dark with a blue/green hue.
I’d like to find other examples.

Many thanks!

Hi

I suspect this is a contemporary Chinese product.  They have been making lots of different styles of jellyfish paperweight, some rather like yours.

I agree it may well be Chinese - although this is the first I have seen with this shape.

Most People enjoy them and if you like it why worry where it originated.

This one is by an USA maker called Richard Satava - a Purple Ribbed Jellyfish.  His works are truly stunningly real - especially if you have seen jellyfish up close in the ocean - which I had.

We have a couple of Satava jellyfish - as you say, stunning pieces.
