Oriental Scenic Crystal Ball Paperweight

This decorative vintage crystal ball or glass sphere features an internal Asian landscape scene with imagery reminiscent of the Great Wall, mountains, pines, and calligraphic characters, giving it a strong East Asian decorative aesthetic. The clear orb sits in a dark turned wood display stand and comes with a fitted patterned presentation box. It appears to have been made as a souvenir, decorative desk object, or display paperweight rather than a fine art crystal piece, but it has an attractive mid-to-late 20th century look and displays well.
