I wasn’t sure what to expect with this brass paperweight, but it’s surprisingly well-made. The blowfish design is subtle yet charming, and the weight is perfect for holding down papers without sliding around. Brass feels substantial and has a nice heft to it. While 75 bucks is a bit steep for a paperweight, the craftsmanship justifies the price. Reminds me of Jeff Goldblum’s quirky charm – unexpected but delightful.
