Lot 183
Parabelle Glass 1997 scattered millefiori paperweight,
with assorted red heart complex canes and pink rose canes
on dark green aventurine ground. "Many people have the
misconception that Parabelle mass-produces paperweights. In reality
Parabelle concentrates on quality, turning out around 400 of
the finest millefiori weights in the world each year. The Scruttons
started their glass studio in 1981… (They) are among the
few artists who control every aspect of the weight making process,
starting with making their own glass and mixing their own colors."
