Glass Paperweights / Sinclair Johnson 1890 paperweight
« Last post by PaulFitz on May 10, 2024, 06:28:09 AM »
Hi,does anyone have any information on this 8.5cm diameter paperweight.
The design has been engraved on the bottom with the name & date on the top.
The six facets are concaved rather than ground flat.
I am struggling to find anything on the name at all.
Thanks,Paul

A very knowledgable friend is a bit doubtful about my attribution.
Which I take seriously.
I have found a thread with conversation, illustrations and useful links here, which might explain a bit more.

It still looks as if it belongs with an Eisch somewhere to me.
The multiple subtly clashing colours, the swag decor and the application of clear glass features all fit.

I had something very similar recently, that is probably how they were sold. Could be bought in blanks decorated on Murano.

Unikat is German for "Unique". And I think the signature reads E. Eisch, for Erwin Eisch and if you think this is a bit of worthless rubbish can I have it pretty, pretty, pretty please? ;)

It is not worthless. It's really rather wonderful.  ;D 8) ;D
E. Eisch was a German pioneer of the Studio Glass Movement.
However, there seems to be nother name there, possibly Schaffler?
I'm not sure of all the ins and outs of the whole history. There is an Eisch dynasty. The studio name is Glashutte Valentin Eisch. Founded in'46.

I love it anyway. ;)

I think the mark probably reads Val St. Lambert, (even if the St. seems to be missing).

Looks like a ZBS paper label, Zelezny Brod Sklo.

Might also be worth checking to see if it's Alexandrite glass
