Hi
Three new paperweight buys
1) 2.8” diam, 2” high – ground and polished base (unseen by me before, has an outer circular ridge, a round circular foot and a central convex area) – very good quality with fantastic colours, I love the aventurine base that sparkles out of the wide casing and melds into a beautiful translucent blue that holds the canes. The convex base section is clear; it acts like a window to the insides showing the aventurine distribution and placement of all the canes. The central rose is a quite lovely, and can be seen scattered in miniature in number 3.
Number 12) 2.4” diam, 2” high – close-pack weight with some fantastic canes of great detail and fine quality – lovely mottled swirl of colours cone down to a polished flat base with small, clear window that shows the inside of paperweight.
Number 23) 3” diam, 2” high – base exactly the same as number one. Same use of aventurine to base with the translucent blue hardly seen because of the close-pack ‘five sided’ coloured stones each containing multi coloured flowers with white petals, evenly spaced are miniature roses in exactly the same configuration as the central rose in number one, again this weight has wide casing, as with number one, to allow the aventurine to sparkle.
Number 3I have some ideas but any help on attribution will be most helpful
