Topic: de oude horn paperweight

[jonchellycain]

Hi there
has anybody any ideas in values when it come to De Oude Horn paperweights, i bought one last year off a car boot sale for £5 its signed Oude Horn J.K 1995, I dont know much about them, i believe they are Dutch. I cant seem to find any info on prices of paperweights and have never found anything on searches on ebay (ive had a search open on it for the last year but nothing)
any info would be great

Your best bet is to contact Willem Botterweg at http://www.botterweg.com/ - he is the authority on Dutch glass and its market.

It is a building and currently occupied by glass artist Bernard Heesen, his father Willem Heesen (also a glass artist) was there first but Bernard since 1982.

Perhaps your weight was done by someone working there... try here http://homepage.mac.com/deoudehorn/
