Lot 161
*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.
Diameter 3". $1100-1400
