Here is a 4"H clear glass paperweight with a ram design by artist Paul Isling from his zodiac series of the 1980s for Nybro of Sweden.
Happy Birthday to all CW Aries the ram with a special shout to my friend Karen racer4four, have a fantastic year ahead!
I love paperweights and this one is outstanding!! I just happen to be an Aries myself. March 31st to be exact.
This is a gorgeous paperweight, but I can't help getting slight Deja-vu?! Do you have a similar one? Or maybe I've seen a similar one elsewhere???
Anyway, the real ibex look of him(with those great curling horns) gives him a very alpine feel- like he's on some icy mountain slope getting ready to leap to another! :)
I love the blinds look of the lighting and yet still capturing the beauty that is in this piece, gorgeous !~
Beautiful paperweight!
Special thanks to you all for the love

Happy Aries birthday past Scott my friend, I hope you had a wonderful day!! I was planning to post this ram last month but because there were other rams here I waited, it is still the Aries time for another wk or so. Thank you for your fabulous compliment for my ram, and have a terrific year ahead
Searching I totally agree, this ram paperweight is just like a block of ice - the Swedes excel at making this type of paperweight (Mats Jonasson for example) & this was a pleasant find. Glad you liked the photos, whenever I see a bolt of sunshine I grab my tablet as the natural light enhances so well. Fantastic praise thank you so much!
Lol Lauren, you have an excellent memory, I have posted a same ice block kind of paperweight by Nybro for Libra, plus a Cristal darques ibex for Capricorn, and other CWers have posted similar looking curly eared glass ram figurines too. I always try to honor an animal zodiac sign in the appropriate time period, it's nice to remember my CW friends - will hopefully find a cool lion for you coming up in summer! Thank you for your always superb comment & great recall
Phil thank you for your wonderful compliments for my photos, I used to always photograph my glass animals with venetian blinds backdrop as the sun reflection illuminates them so nicely. Here you can see the open blind slats behind the paperweight which though unplanned I think gave it a different sort of offbeat look, glad you liked!
Thank you vintagelamp for your delightful praise for this ram paperweight & seeing the beauty in it, you are always so kind
