Hi, I hope it's ok to post this here as well as an update on my paperweight post.
EmbryoI was lucky enough to find this piece at a Norwegian online auction site,
I thought it was quite different and would make a spicy addition to my
paperweight collection.
A clear glass embryo covered in gold and encased.
While looking through the Jargstorf paperweight book I found and almost
identical piece - made by Ermanno Nason in 1989!
The only difference is the orientation of the main element, the book one
was on it's side while mine is upright. Very nice artwork.
Not signed tho but unmistakeably Ermanno Nason judging by the book.
A lucky one indeed.
Thought I'd post the pic as it's an unusal piece and there aren't that many
Ermanno pieces pictured online that I could find.
Edit : Changed link to photo due to server probs, photo works now.
