This piece was created by Merritt when she worked at Brazee Studios in Cincinnati. 
Others would call this a paperweight but not M.A.D. these are Dragon Eggs! This egg was created by placing a key in molten glass and then gathered clear glass to complete the piece. It was amazing to watch what happened to the key, as it heated up it began to boil and bend! Before it went into the annealer the bottom is heated and stamped.
Dimensions are 3"x 2"
