*Paul Ysart pink and red double clematis paperweight,
encircled by a garland of cross and cog canes. "PY"
signature cane. "The paperweights of Paul Ysart, from
their inception through to the present day, have been met with
an enthusiasm only equaled by that of the artist in creating
them. In his exploration of the techniques and designs of the
nineteenth-century paperweight makers, he has resisted the creation
of technically perfect but artistically stale reproductions.
His modern paperweights have been an integral part of Scottish
national identification with the decorative arts, a theme taken
up by the Caithness and Perthshire glass companies today."
--Ysart Glass.
