other warm colors come off very well). See The Art of the Paperweight,

Rare antique Baccarat dated scattered Gridel canes on

and a white monkey cane facing off with a man with a staff. The
canes are all bedded in lovely, clean tufts of latticinio, with
some colored filigree here and there. Signed and dated "B1848".

Lot 17
Very rare antique Baccarat dated scattered millefiori
on lace paperweight, with a central shamrock cane. A superior
example of the craft, the cane designs offer very bold, complex
millefiori faces, and they are all presented meticulously over
the drifts of latticinio. This weight and its distinctive millefiori,
may represent an influx of glass workers from Eastern Europe,
bringing their sensibilities to the French factories. This design
is notable for the absence of silhouette canes and the "1849"
red date cane. See The Art of the Paperweight, pp. 72-73; The
Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights, p. 53; Glass Paperweights
of the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum, plate 15, ill. 406.
Diameter 2 7/8". $3000-4250 |
