Australian - dichroic & lampwork figures. ID = Marc Kalifa, Australia

(1/1)

misha:
First paperweight I purchased in 1992.
Definitely Australian maker because it came from a gallery exhibiting their works in Glebe - Sydney.
I don't think it was a Sydney based artist... possibly Nth Coast NSW.
Wasn't the best pwt available at the time, didn't have the funds for a larger 'sister' with better defined  dichroic element and lampwork figures. Still interesting.
Also purchased a mushroom sculpture [ex No.1 has it] I think made by same artist.

I've used yellow colour pencil to highlight engraved signature. 

Lost receipt long ago defining artist, ID help now would be most appreciated.
I'm on a mission to catalogue all in collection/accumulation, and sell excess to needs.

Pontil scar area is flame polished and pressed in, presenting not unlike the top of an apple.

brewster:
Marc Kalifa of Maleny in Queensland. See the thread below for a couple of other examples of his paperweights and signatures:
