Lot 104 Rick Ayotte 1994 The Consummate Rosebush Triple paperweight. This design is composed of three successively larger paperweights, fused together, a feat which has only been accomplished by very few modern paperweight makers. The top tier is as in homage to the pink Clichy Rose. Then an open yellow breath of life rose, bedded on wild tuberoses. Lastly a triumvarite of "pure and lovely" American Beauty red roses. "Ayotte captures... perfect flowers in glass with elegance and grace."-Songs Without Words: The Art of the Paperweight-Rick Ayotte, Lawrence Selman, 1997. Signed and dated. Height 5 11/16" Estimate: $4500 - 6000
