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.
