GOURD PAPERWEIGHT

This is a paperweight design with inspiration from ancient Chinese alcohol gourd. Ancient Chinese used to carry alcohol in hollowed gourd and with a rope around the waist to attach to horses, backpacks or any places. This design wants to bring back this ancient Chinese culture, with modern design. It's sand cast with solid pewter, all done by hands. It's heavy and solid, not only good for paperweight, but also an art piece.

​Designed and sand cast by Ning Hua.
