Topic: 3 Flower Paperweights. Chinese?

[kane_u_pain]

I bought these 3 paperweights from an old lady at the flea market about 11years ago for $5 each. I though the price was reasonable. 2 Green 'flower' and 1 Orange 'flower' with central air bubble and air bubbles over the leaves. The clear glass has a dullish look to it. They range in height from 6.3cm to about 7cm and dia's of the same dimensions. The bases are slightly frosted. Chinese? or something else? I know nothing about paperweights. Any help would be appreciated.

Instead of another thread for this one, something similiar but purchased 5 years apart. The clear glass in this one is a lot clearer/brighter than the other 3. The flower shape does not seem as good as the other 3 also. This one is 7cm high and almost 7cm in dia. Same type of frosting to the base. Could it be from a different batch run of chinese paperweights?  :24: Or completely different? Any thoughts?

All six are Chinese. The quality of Chinese weights is very variable. Some can be quite nice.

Some onf the newer Chinese weights have nicely polished bases.

I suspected so! Thank you glasstrufflehunter. Will probably keep these as i quite like the flowers in them LOL.

I have quite a few of these Chinese flower weights myself. My favorites are the ones that have insects or little frogs in addition to the flowers.

Any chance you could post a few pics glasstrufflehunter? Would be interested in seeing a few.
