As befitting the United States of Americal, here's The Biggest Paperweight in the Universe. All the trees and foliage were lampworked and then rolled up (technical term) in a great big blob (technical term) of glass by lots of burly blokes... It was a very beautiful thing. “Megaplanet” is a 107-pound orb with a kaleidoscope of landscapes and underwater scenes inside, and is the one thousandth paperweight in the paperweight collection at Corning. I declined to look at the other 999.
From heavy to delicate, and the wonders of lampworking... Thankfully this was in a glass case, away from my back pack.

Fancy an apple? These were rather enormous, very shiny and beautifully edible... for your most hated enemies only.
