Title: ID help - Copper electroformed ribbed mottled blue/green encasement
Post by: LesBeatiques on September 18, 2014, 02:49:25 AM
Hello all,

This unique piece features a ribbed mottled blue & green encasement, a cold cut geometric surface pattern with copper electroformed to the cut crevasses.  This is a time consuming and rare technique the only paperweight artist I know of that does electroforming is Andrew Fote but the signature doesn't add up. It is about  3-1/2" in diameter, spherical with no flat surface and hand signed, "DV 95". The seller said it was purchased from the gift shop of the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass. 

Does any of this spark anything with anyone?
Thanks,
Eric
