Frequently Asked Questions
What is a paper weight?
A paper weight is a crystal or glass ball with a figurine inside. It is placed on a base made of polyrasen or other material. The globe is full of liquid. When shaken, the brocade inside the water globe imitates a snow storm.
How should I maintain my collection of water globes?
You should often take the dust off your collectibles to avoid color fading on the base as well as on the figurine inside the water globe. It is best if you clean your paperweights with a soft cloth-paper or cotton towel. Keep them at a room temperature to avoid defects that high or low temperature may cause.
How can I prevent air bubbles occurring in my paperweights?
Air bubbles occur as a result of extremely high temperature. Therefore, you should keep your water globes at a room temperature. Vibrations during a long trip (transoceanic, for instance) may also cause air bubbles.
