Part I: Antique Paperweights
& Related Objects
"The lure of the paperweight intensifies upon being handheld.
Through its lens-like dome, its design is enhanced, revealing
details intuitive to the practical eye. The collector and the
student of glass become tuned to subtle variations in color,
form, pattern and glass clarity--just as the scholar perceives
nuances in poetry, literature, art and music." --Geraldine
J. Casper, Glass Paperweights of the Bergstrom -Mahler Museum

"…(T)he newel post finial once relegated to the
lowly status of decorative builders' hardware, now became an
objet d'art. These finials were mounted and attached to the newel
or upright post at the head of a flight of stairs… The mansions
and chateaux in France provided a perfect setting for this ornament."-Annual
Bulletin of the Paperweight Collectors' Association, (1993-94). |
