Lampwork glass paperweight

My name is Ted Trower and I've been a paperweight collector for over 40 years. For the past 10 years or so I've been working on lampworking and paperweight weight production techniques. I've finally reached the point where I'm ready to offer some of my better pieces for sale to the public. This weight is made of 100% 96 COE glasses, both the colors and the Czech Optical Crystal used for encasement. It has been very well and carefully annealed.

This weight is 1/1 and diameter is 2 7/8" (7.3cm), height is 2 3/8" (6cm). Signature cane reads 2020 and my initials TT. You can see some of my other work on Instagram.
