FM Konstglas/Ronneby Neodymium Glass Bird - Labelled

Description

A stunning Scandinavian lilac / smoky blue glass bird paperweight. Made by FM Konstglas of Ronneby, Sweden, and still bears the original factory label. Made from neodymium glass (also known as alexandrite glass), which changes colour according to different lighting conditions. It appears lilac in natural sunlight or yellow artificial light, and smoky blue in fluorescent/white light (see pictures). This is due to the presence of neodymium oxide (Nd²O³) in the glass.
