Title: Paul Ysart / John Deacon ? No 8.
Post by: vintageartglass on August 15, 2015, 08:55:10 PM

Hello,

I recently bought a small oddment of a 20th century glass collection as I wanted one of the paperweights among it to add to my collection of rare British paperweights.

I am finding it very difficult to research a few of the items in the collection, as I have found the same objects to be attributed to several different makers / nationalities, mostly czech or murano and I am unsure which to believe and it has been difficult to find a definitive answer.

I am hoping there will be some assured expertise here to help me to identify these vases with more certainty.

Hi there,

Yes, on balance, I would attribute this paperweight to John Deacons. The flowers are rather typical of his lampwork. And he does not sign all his pieces 'permanently' (i.e. with more than a sticker).

In any event, it is not by Paul Ysart.
