I am a Swan Paperweight. I may have started out as an ugly duckling, but I am more than capable of punching my weight. Those other birds only look good on paper.

Curator's Notes

We may not need to use paper as much in our digital age, but we think this beautiful paperweight has a place to nest on a desk or bookshelf. Inspired by the weights used to hold paper down for calligraphy, the paperweight is made from cast iron in the Iwate region renowned for its iron industry. Its elegant curves are moulded and cast using traditional techniques that highlight the natural textures of the cast iron.
