Title: ID suggestions please
Post by: tropdevin on February 05, 2009, 03:22:39 PM

The paperweight shown below has two small 'ice pick' style flowers and two small, crude crimped petals, joined by twisted rod stems.  These float well above a thin translucent green frit 'flower pot'.  The base is polished flat, and the whole paperweight is slightly oval. Diameter 2 1/2 inch / 67 mm, height 1 7/8 inch / 48 mm. My feeling is that it is probably Czech / Boho - but I may be wrong, and I have no real idea of age.  Can anyone help?

Those flowers look Czech/Boh to me too. I have seen similar flowers in a Fratelli Toso weight and they put them on that shade of green too.

It doesn't look like Fratelli Toso to me. It looks more Czech, but I've not seen the weight before.

The FT I saw had more flowers that were similarly shaped but they were white streaked with wine colored glass. Similar but I still think this one is Czech/Boh.
