Salvador Ysart Harlequin Paperweight
daveweight:
Following on Kev's comments on the Vasart Badge weight that some Vasart canes were pulled in the 1930's. Here is a picture of a Harlequin style paperweight made by Salvador Ysart and Kev Fluoursced this to the 1930's but some of the canes have appeared in later Vasart weights and I have a picture of a Vasart inkwell made entirely of the orange and white cane.
It is intersting that Salvador used this Harlequin bubbles design well before Paul and I also have a very nice Vasart weight with this same bubble pattern.
I am off on holday now so I thought I'd leave something for you to look at - enjoy

Salvador was working with millefiori and bubbles, not neccesarily together, in the 1920's. The cup in the Perth Museum is stated to be 1920's but I think Kevin was unable to verfy that. I have seem millefiori picture frames made by Salvador that almost certainly date to the twenties. Essentially, Salvador did not consider paperweights a worthwhile pursuit - despite the amount produced at Vasart, he considered them as giftware.

Vincents daughter, I imagine. I saw them in Vincent's house. One had a photo of Enriqueta in and I think the other one was Salvador. They also had huge doorstops, about a foot high and 6" diameter, heavily chipped from years of love. Unfortunately it was pre-digital camera days and I was more interested in talking than recording their possessions. I do have a video tape of Paul's sons' collection... I should get it digitised.
