BLUE BUBBLE PAPERWEIGHT - NO IDEA WHO MADE IT!
« on: May 25, 2010, 07:55:57 AM »
Hi, I wondered if this paperweight was modern or had any age to it.  It measures about 3" tall.   Bought at a booty a few weeks ago.  Thanks in advance for any interest.

The bubble pattern is made with an optic mold that is widely available and widely used.  Your best hope of identifying the maker would be the colors and that is open to duplication as well.  Without markings or signature I do not believe that this sort of weight can ever be accurately attributed to its source with any degree of certainty.
