I have a  lovely silver oxide pulled feather paperweight by Quintin Lake from '83. I've had no luck finding any info on the artist, I can find a few more of his pieces, but no bio's or history and anything.

I did send a note, including a few photos, to Quintin Lake, the UK photographer, asking if he was related, perhaps he was the glassblowers son, since the name is so distinctive. He was kind enough to respond within a few hours with a "no".

He said he's been asked a few times, and had even had people asking to buy his glass work, but that he had never done glass, and knew nothing about the artist.

Oh well.

Is this the one currently on eBay? I ask because these pics are on eBay.

yes, I listed it today.

I don't say anything, since I don't want anyone to think I'm drumming up sales here.
