Title: Help needed, signed 1979 paperweight. ID = Larcomb & Wicht, USA
Post by: Tim_B on January 28, 2017, 03:02:38 AM

Hi, can someone please help me identify the glass paperweight shown in these photos? It's pretty small (about 3 inches in diameter), has a 1979 date, and is signed with two names I can't make out.

Thank you in advance!

I'm reading it as probably the design name Jasmin & Wicker?

Not sure of the maker -- just trying to GUESS at the signature in case that lead somewhere -- or no where

Looks like: ??  something like LARSON & WICKHAM or something like that in My opinion.  Just a guess as to what I think I can see in the signature ,,,,Or Larson, Lawson ???

The first part is (Arnold) Larson (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arnold-Larson-Signed-Crystal-Glass-Lattichio-Spiral-Helix-Paperweight-USA-/371824418161?nma=true&si=EKW0ZM5QgHgutmRufgLQ14VN3Kc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557) (I have several more examples in my signature collection) ... some info here (http://thevintagevillage.com/forums/topic/27/arnold-larson-collection-inc-art-glass).
No definite answer on the second part.

In think that is Larcomb & Wicht. They had a studio in western Ohio for a while and then split up. It looks like their work. do a search for them and see what you think.

I stand corrected - the similarity of the leading L has mislead me. I was a bit confused about the squiggle at the end, which now turns out to be a "p".

Sorry for that - Wolf

Wow, this message board is great!

Thanks to everyone who tried to help, especially to Fuhrman Glass for identifying this. Now that I have a name to Google, I can see that it is indeed Larcomb & Wicht. :)
