Need Help with this lovely antique Paperweight

<< < (4/6) > >>

Nadine:
Hi Leni,

thanks for your Message,

here are some new photos:

http://web888.can13.de/webbrowser/weight4/index.html

#1+2 Profile, hope this ones are a little bit better
#3 The Base with the big basal Rim and the conkave middle
#4 The Paperweight together with an St. Louis Jasper to see, that the green canes are similar to the ones in the first ring of the St. Louis
#5 The Paperweight together with an Clichy Scramble to compare the green tone of the canes, wich is nearly the same.
#6+7 Pictures from the St. Louis Jelly Dish, I posted yesterday to see, that the star canes nearly identical. (Sorry for the poor Photos, it´s a high glossy picture and my cam couldn´t get it sharper)

If I find more interessting matches, I will post them also.


I can not total be sure, that the weight is not repolished yet, as it is about 150 years old and I have it since 4 days, but I thougt with this scratches on the surface and the wear to the base it isn´t repolished yet, but I don’t know it. Probably it was also the base of an Dish or Inkwell, I don´t think that, but perhaps somebody has seen an item, which looks also similar or has identical canes in it, like the other St. Louis Jelly Dish.

Yes, I have the Millefiori Book from Kulles also and the Lampwork, too. But unfortunately it helps me not with this weight.

Have a nice Saturday evening.

Many greetings
Nadine

I had another thought .....  :shock:

Could it possibly be a New England Glass Company weight?   :?

I don't know much (and can't seem to find anything out  :x ) about their millefiori canes, but I believe they did have very deep concave bases and wide basal rings!  Also, I believe they were sometimes mistaken for 'Bohemian' weights  :shock:

I've looked everywhere I can think and come up with a blank.  

Can you find any info on NEGC canes?

Ooops!  That was me, logged out  :oops:

Yes, I have some Pictures of NEGC-Canes, here a some pics of 3 NEGC-Scrambled weights from my collection:

I did compare them also, but they completely different. Also the Base aren´t concave, its simply firepolished and you still can see the pontil-mark on all 3 weights.
But the Idea was good, Leni, probably it will be a maker we all know, and didn´t know it :D

Leni:
WOW!  What a collection you must have, Nadine!   I'm very envious!  :shock:

However, I'm a bit concerned about the size of your pictures.  They don't give me a problem, but I know some people who use these boards complain if pictures are too big, as their computers can't cope   :?

Personally, I think you need to see big pics when we're talking about paperweight canes, but I wonder if you should try to reduce the size so as not to cause other users problems trying to look at them   :(

Re your original weight:  The colour is still trying to tell me something - and I think one thing it is trying to tell me is, definitely NOT Clichy!  

Never mind, I am sure next week Kevin or Ray will be back and will 'put us out of our misery'  :roll:   Only it hasn't been misery, has it?  It's been FUN!  :D
