Why It's Special:
Viking Glass Company ceased production in 1998, making authentic pieces increasingly rare and valuable. This 1970s praying hands paperweight represents American glassmaking at its finest—exceptional clarity, substantial weight, and artistic detail. The pristine condition is remarkable for a piece nearly 50 years old.
The frosted praying hands symbolize faith, hope, and devotion, serving as a beautiful daily reminder to pause and reflect. Display the textured frosted side or flip to show the smooth, clear glass—both create stunning visual effects with natural or accent lighting.
Display Tips:
Place near a window for natural illumination, use spotlighting for dramatic effect, or incorporate into a home altar or sacred space.
Care:
Clean with a soft, dry cloth or mild soap and water. Avoid abrasives and extreme temperatures.
