The fruit group paperweight has a small white inclusion on base edge with a chip in that location, (it may possibly have been done to even the base, if the inclusion stuck out too far); surface scratches but clarity still very good.
Blue poinsettia weight has all over light scratches, clarity not perfect but pretty good.
