310. Important Saint Louis
1981 magnum millefiori basket weight. This rare presentation
piece was created for Paul Jokelson to honor his incredible contribution
to the art of the paperweight. The design, inspired by a famous
antique Clichy piece, is composed of a pinched oval containing
fourteen rows of complex canes, including star, cog, stardust
and quatrefoil canes, in ruby, pink, thalo blue, cobalt blue,
pistachio, leaf green, lime, Indian yellow and white. The arrangement
is placed on a swirling white latticinio pedestal, decorated
with a pink and white filigree ribbon twist, around the base
and the top of the design. A pink and white filigree ribbon twist
handle completes the basket. "A highlight of the banquet
was the presentation of two gifts to Mr. Jokelson in recognition
of his many years of devoted service as President of the PCA.
Representing Cristalleries de Saint Louis, Gerard Ingold presented
a magnum crystal basket filled with millefiori canes in a concentric
pattern and topped with a twist handle."—Annual
