I thought you might like to see my latest buy  - very beatiful heart paperweight.

Any interesting points ( or proper terminology I should use) anyone would like to make, so I can put them in the listing, gratefully received!   ;D ;D

KevinH:
How about this way around...

Let us know what your listing wording will be then I, for one, will be happy to say if there is anything that should be changed.

josordoni:
Thanks Kev, that would be great, and most kind.

Miller's Paperweights of the 19th & 20th Centuries, Anne Metcalfe. I don't avidly collect paperweights, but my meagre resources did stretch to buying this very inexpensive book.

Edit: ISBN 1-84000-309-X

Hi Kev,

here is my suggested wording:

1930s VINTAGE PAUL YSART PAPERWEIGHT
PINK COMPLEX CANE HEART SET ON A MARBLED BLUE BACKGROUND, WITH SINGLE GREEN/WHITE COMPLEX CANE CENTRE
SURROUNDED BY A GARLAND OF ORANGE/WHITE/CLEAR STARS  AND GREEN/WHITE/YELLOW DAISY CANES
MAUVISH DARK GLASS
ROUGH GROUND PONTIL ON INDENTED BASE
Beautiful Paul Ysart paperweight dating from the 1930s.
Condition is overall good, only one or two very tiny wear scratches to the sides.  Wear to the basal rim of the underside. Some loose bubbles in the clear glass dome.
Approx diameter 80 mm 3 ins, no signature cane or label.
