Paperweight

(1/3) > >>

tubitha:
Bought this recently and and not sure where it came from.  Might be Chinese, base is slightly concave and polished smooth, size is 2.5 inches approximately.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

A close up of canes would help.

Hi

Hello

I have examined this paperweight much more closely and I thought it might be useful if I described what I found.

At first I thought it was filled with simple canes but on closer inspection it is more complex. Need to get better specs!

The central cane is composed of yellow internal cog then a space and then in the centre there is another white/pink cane with 7 tiny canes then another central cane with four even tinier canes with a yellow central cane.

7 Blue canes with internal cog/daisy and then central cane with purple outer then white inner cog/daisy and orange centre.

16 yellow canes have a cane in the centre of the yellow external daisy/cog with 3 rings.

The outer ring is fairly easy to see on the picture.

The colour is quite blue and the base is polished smooth with wear around the pontil.

Taking this up to Willie Manson for his opinion today.

The canes look like Vasart to me and the ground colour is also right for Vasart.

Kevin would probably know for sure - but he is going throught the joys of a computer upgrade to XP which caused me 8 weeks of hassle - hopefully not so much hassle for K.
