Maker if known please ?
« on: July 23, 2010, 09:43:48 AM »
Hi , I have still a lot to learn re paperweights.
I was given two weights which i think are Chinese? Your help is appreciated.
The first one is green in colour with controlled bubbles and a flat polished base with a minute  remains of a pontil scar 2.5 inches dia and 2.25 inches high.

Mod: Tidied up as two messages. For the second weight see the thread "Black and white paperweight"

Many thanks

Hi Malcmat,

Please start a new thread for the second weight and I will (with my Moderator hat on) tidy up this one to refer solely to the first weight. Otherwise, things can get confusing, especially if it turns out that one, or both, are not Chinese - which, in this case I suspect may apply to at least the second one.

Also, for both, please provide photos of the base as that is so often very helpful evidence for paperweight Id.
