Topic: A new find - M B Stonor Studios, Australia

[Tony G]

Hi All,
          I thought I would post a picture of this paperweight that just arrived. I think it is a lovely weight and a very good version of its title..."A sleeping Serpent".

I had never heard of this maker before but it is by Bernard Stonor who lives on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Check out his web site at

http://www.mbstonorstudios.com/index.html or his facebook page at www.facebook.com/mbstonor

Cheers,

Tony

Some Bernard Stonor perfume bottles were shown earlier on the GMB:

Hi Trevor,
                thanks for that. He makes some really inventive items now but he did make some quite classical paperweights a few years ago it seems.

Cheers,

Tony

First time (I think) I have seen a true millefiori spiral design!
