*Perthshire Paperweights 1980 "Overlay Rose"
faceted paperweight, featuring a petite folded rose with
sepals, stem, leaves, and a closed bud. The tiny flower is set
off well inside the basket-cut glass, with an apple-green flash
overlay, and star-cut base. While still showing deference to
their glassmaking predecessors, in the elaborate cutting and
surface work, the flower is a modest, yet perfectly assured rose--no
more or less is needed, and Perthshire artists knew it. Signed
"P" near the stem. Limited edition of 167.
Diameter 2 7/16". $450-550 |
