Signed paperweight, need ID please "1991"
« on: December 29, 2012, 05:01:35 AM »
I picked up this very unique paperweight as I have never seen one that had two flat sides - one for normal display and one to display the makers signature...very interesting. Is there a particular name for that style?  I am not able to read the signature and this is only my 2nd paperweight ever, so I know nothing about them. I am naturally drawn to signed pieces of beautiful glass though (who isn't right  ;D....

Love the way the pink is twirled around inside with gold specs and a single bubble suspended above.

Thank you ~
