{"title":"Hafod Grange","description":"\u003cp\u003eWelsh company Hafod Grange uses a special technique to seal carefully dried flowers and botanical specimens within crystal clear polyester resin globes containing a UV filter. Each paperweight is unique and makes a striking ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original paperweights were produced by Barry Needham after a friend challenged him to capture an entire dandelion clock without damaging it in any way. He embraced the challenge and after numerous attempts and patient experimentation, Needham perfected a technique for preserving plants and flowers in this way. His designs are now produced by his brother, Alan, who continued his brother's work on a commercial basis after his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHafod Grange Ltd was awarded the Prince of Wales Shield in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hafod-grange-b-a-needham-dandelion-paperweight","title":"Dandelion Paperweight","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDandelion Paperweight \u003c\/strong\u003eby \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.twentytwentyone.mom\/collections\/designers-b-and-a-needham\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eB\u0026amp;A Needham\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/twentytwentyone.mom\/manufacturer\/hafod-grange\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHafod Grange\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA complete seed head captured in perfect symmetry before a gust of wind disperses the seeds.
