 Lot 21
Antique Clichy circular millefiori garlands paperweight,
with pink roses and white roses, on clear ground. The design
contains five circular garlands, around a central garland, each
encircling a complex center cane. The garlands are composed of
canes in pink, green, blue, purple, red and white, including
one garland with seven pink and green "Clichy" roses,
and one garland with eight white and green roses. An eighth pink
rose is centered within a ring of purple cog canes. "The
Clichy rose is really a cane like other canes. Its petals are
composed of flattened tubes bundled together about a core of
thin rods symbolizing pistil and anthers that appear to have
been assembled much as other canes are assembled…The proof
that these are canes is furnished by weights containing more
than two roses of the same color, for here we can see the repetition
of identical petal patterns that mean the roses were snipped
from one cane." -The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights,
p. 126.
Diameter 2 11/16". $3000-4000 |

a large central pink and green rose cane, surrounded by seventeen
spaced complex canes, in shades of pink, green, blue, purple,
red and white, divided by segments of white latticinio, over
several parallel strips of white latticinio. "…Usually
the very large florets, including fine Clichy roses in various
colors, stand out rich and bold against the white filigree, the
ground's opacity reinforced by parallel filigree rods placed
beneath it." -The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights,
p. 128.

and green roses, one translucent pink and green rose, and a red-centered

richer than Baccarat and more decisive than St. Louis. Clichy
rose canes are numerous and may appear in variety and quantity
in a single weight." -The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights,
