Scarab Paperweight

The Scarab Club in Detroit features a historic, sculpted Pewabic medallion designed by architect William Buck Stratton above its main entrance. Founded in 1907, it was a gathering place for artists and art enthusiasts. It was only fitting that Pewabic tile was commissioned for the exterior of the building in the late 1920s considering Pewabic Co-Founder Mary Chase Perry’s strong presence in the art and sculpture scene of Detroit. Years later, the scarab came to symbolize renewal, transformation, and resilience throughout our establishment as a non-profit.  Paperweight measures slightly larger than 4" x 3" x 1" From our Egyptian-inspired Collection Handcrafted in Detroit High-fire stoneware individually hand-pressed and glazed by Pewabic artisans Pewabic logo stamped on bottom Slight variations in glaze and firing results ensure each handcrafted Pewabic piece is one of a kind Available in Gun Metal, Pewabic Blue, and Lapis
