Title: Cat face paperweight - Jonasson? ID = Yes, Mats Jonasson
Post by: seeker on July 30, 2011, 06:50:24 PM
Bought a cat face paperweight today, it is signed on the base, the weight is in a style of Mats Jonasson, the signature I am unsure if it is his or someone elses.

There is a number also present on the base 9176

3" approx diameter

Thank you for any help again!

I have done a little digging and seems the signature is Mats Jonasson, but any idea of the date, as searching has not come up with any clue and it is not on the Mats Jonasson site.

Many thanks

Many thanks for the reply and confirmation is it Mats Jonasson and the link to the eBay auction, they do not know the age of the weight either!

Regards

You can find multiple examples on Google.  This design does not appear in my 2010 Mats Jonasson catalog, but that probably doesn't mean much.

You can check the on line catalog at:
