I do not share the view that some express about Chinese weights.
Yes, there are quite a few 'Can you make 200 or 2,000 or 20,000 of those please' weights, often nearly as dull as the typical Caithness swirls and bubbles. [I believe that Caithness decided to buy in the low end weights from China towards the end, rather than copy them.] But there are also quite competent animals, flowers, millefiori from China - their only crime seems to be making them in bulk...
And just how many of the dull, boring 'Flower and bud' weights are there skulling about from the 'Master', Paul Ysart? Lots and lots. Are they interesting? Matter of opinion. How many of those were his lampwork, rather than one of his trainees? Answers on a postcard please....
