Paperweight ID - Vasart / Ysart Brothers ?

(1/2) > >>

SimonD:
This paperweight  measures 3 1/3 inches diameter, 2 1/4 inches high, and has a close-pack arrangement of canes with an outer ring of alternating twists and canes.  Overall, a bit of a messy feel. If you look closely, there is one of those unusual 'rose' canes (see last closeup photo.) The base has a rough pontil which in inside a basal rim. If anyone can help with the identification and/or age of this paperweight, I'd be very grateful.

My thoughts are drawn to Vasart or Ysart Brothers, but without any degree of conviction!

Best wishes,
Simon

Oh what awonderfull weight!
Could it be Paul by himself?

tropdevin:
It has a rose cane that Salvador used at Ysart Bros, so I think that is the likely attribution. It is not by Paul Ysart.

casalibre:
Did Paul never used canes of his father in his own weights ???
