the remarkable "less is more" achievements of the Perthshire
artisans, in and among other more patterned Special Yearly Collection
pieces. Signature "P" cane near the stem and paper
label. See The Art of the Paperweight: Perthshire, p. 63. Limited

*Perthshire Paperweights 1975 Christmas flower paperweight,
a white rose and bud set in clear crystal; one top facet
and star-cut base. The minimalistic qualities enhance the subtleties
of this pretty blossom, especially the mustard-color radiating
around the flower's stamen, creating depth in what is a very
flat assembly. Slight curling at the petals' edges is suggested
by swirls in the overlay of white. Signed "P" cane
at the flower's center. Limited edition of 347.
Diameter 2 11/16". $300-400 |
