Display this trio of vintage hand-blown art glass snail paperweight figurines on your home office desk or on a living room shelf as a reminder to slow down and appreciate life.
Snails have a long history as a symbol throughout the world. The small creatures symbolize fertility, slow and determined movement, life's progress, sacred space, protection, and self-reliance.
All three vintage art glass snails are signed. The snail grouping includes a Kosta Boda figure designed by Göran Wärff.
The largest snail in the collection has condition issues, a wabi sabi attribute. It has a broken antennae tip and another small chip in its body coil. The Kosta Boda snail and the other snail figurine are in good condition. The Kosta Boda glass snail has its original label.
Approximate Measurements:
Large Snail -- 4" x 6 1/2" x 2"
Kosta Boda Snail -- 2 3/4" x 3" x 2 3/4"
Third Snail -- 2 1/4" x 4" x 2"
