D'Albret 1975 faceted Moshe Dayan sulphide paperweight,
and 20 test color silhouettes by artist Gilbert Poillerat. The
tester was employed to help determine the coloring for production
of Poillerat's bicolored sulphides. It has been determined the
"missing" first sulphide of the color set went into
use for the paperweight. Dayan (1915-1981) was an Israeli military
hero and political leader, and his likeness is encased in a six
and one faceted paperweight, over cobalt blue ground, with The
Star of David engraved on the base. Signed 'G.P' and dated on
the sulphide, and acid etched with the D'Albret insignia. Includes
certificate of authentication. The paperweight is of a limited
edition of 600. Diameter 2 13/16". The color test set is
one-of-a-kind.
