The paperweight collection, which includes Pamphilon's "Maviş" painting, and includes different tones of blue in Istanbul, are great gifts for your co-workers or may decorate the office of your loved ones. This design, which can be used as a decorative object, is offered in a special box. The pitchers, of which the top can also be used as a glass, also include various colorful Istanbul views.
