Purple Glass Flower Paperweight - Any idea of maker ?
« on: March 01, 2025, 08:31:25 AM »
Hi everyone,

I have this purple hued Glass paperweight with a lampworked? glass flower inside on a green ground with central bubble. It's 3" high x 2.75" diameter.

I am struggling to identify this.  Plenty of wear on a flat base

Can anyone aside for a maker ?  I did wonder if it was a Maltese Mtarfa weight although I can't find one similar.  No visible sign of a signature.

Any help much appreciated !

Thanks

I would say perhaps Bohemian/Czech/Silesian, not Maltese
