*Antique Clichy swirl-pattern paperweight, in two
bands of color, opaque pink and white, pinwheeling around a central
pastry mold cane, composed of white and red alternating ribbons
and a rich red center, with a cluster of stave canes around a
whorl cane. "Contained within paperweight spheres, swirls
seem to be captured in mid-spin, their momentum unspent. Colorful
and dramatic, they have an appeal and energy quite different
from those of delicate millefiori gardens." -Geraldine Casper,
