The ox figurine is depicted in abundant detail significant of a true technical virtuosity. White and flannel coloured enamel batons are sculpted by blowtorch into a dozen different elements, then joined over a flame to form the animal. The astonishing precision found in the eyes, nostrils, backbone, and nuances of the coat make it come alive in its crystal bubble. Its harness and lead are made by twisting together three extremely fine green enamel rods over a flame, then shaping them in a single movement. The elements that protrude from the ox–like the horns, muzzle and legs–are protected by a small clear crystal bubble (partial wedging), before being packaged in clear crystal.

Saint Louis is the only crystal factory in the world still able to make paperweights. They have been reinventing the art form every year since 1953 with creations born from the imagination and dexterity of the paperweight atelier’s master glassmakers made for collectors and new enthusiasts alike. Within the Atelier, two glassmakers are Meilleurs Ouvriers de France and one is a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
As the jewel of Saint Louis, paperweights showcase many of the atelier’s most impressive techniques millefiori, sulphide inclusion, overlay, twisting and lampwork captured in a unique and fascinating object that has the fragile eternity of the moment.
