Lot 152
Paul Ysart dragonfly paperweight, composed of a central dragonfly, having
yellow, blue, and white millefiori wings, and a yellow-spotted
gold aventurine body, encircled by a spaced garland of peach
and white complex canes, on translucent dark gray ground. Paul
Ysart, considered one of the most important contributors to paperweight
making in the 20th century, apprenticed at the Saint Louis factory
in France, and used that experience to refine his technique to
a master level. His millefiori canes, fine examples of which
are displayed here, are simplifications of Saint Louis' canes,
but his dragonflies, in the view of expert Paul Hollister, "are
similar to, but much bolder than the French, [and] are also better
executed." -The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights.
"PY" clustered signature cane.
Diameter 3 1/8". $3000-4000 |

and white latticinio torsade, on black textured ground. This
rare sulphide, produced early in Ysart's career, is "historically
important as the first attempt by a Scottish glass house to recreate
sulphide paperweights in the tradition of the Holyrood Glassworks
and John Ford & Co. from the 19th century." -Scottish
Paperweights. Unfinished pontil.
Diameter 2 7/8". $3250-4000 |
