Antique Clichy swirl paperweight, with alternating
threads of turquoise and white, radiating from a white, green
and yellow complex cane center.
Diameter 2 5/8". $1600-2500
"Clichy artisans were keenly aware of the optical properties
of crystal, and they exploited them to their fullest in their
swirl weights. Under the magnification of the dome, whirling
millefiori pinwheels create a scintillating visual illusion.
They form a dramtic ground for the millefiori cane."
