Decorative Hand Painted Stained Glass Paperweight in a Tudor Rose Carpe Diem Design.

Description

Celtic Glass Designs create significant and expressive gifts designed by Beverley Gallagher. The Tudor Rose with its red outer petals and white inner ones symbolised the union of the two royal houses. The White Rose represents York whilst the Red Rose represents Lancaster. The Tudor Rose design is reminiscent of the Tudor Age. 'Carpe diem' is usually translated from the Latin as 'Seize the Day' or in modern idiom 'Go for It' The inscription reads 'Carpe Diem O Mistress mine, where are you roaming? O stay and hear! Then come your true love's coming, that can sing both high and low. Kiss me sweet and twenty, youth's a stuff will not endure' Winged Heart 'stained glass' paperweights are the first of their kind. Hand painted in the borders of Scotland, they feature some of their most popular designs. Beautifully presented gift boxed in ivory and gold. A perfect gift for that special person.
