Parabelle Glass Paperweight Roses & Heart Flowers on Green Aventurine 3
This is an awesome piece to add for a true collector of Studio Art Glass Paperweights. Gary Scrutton was the creator of Parabelle glass and soon became recognized as one of the finest makers of Millefiori paperweights in the world. His goal was to achieve the same or better quality than the antique glass makers from the famous French houses. Two of Gary's signature canes became the Pansy and Clichy style rose. This paperweight is a large 3 in diameter and contains 1 very large Clichy Style Rose and 5 smaller ones. It also has 5 smaller Pansy Canes. There are cog canes and moss ground canes all of which have hearts as centers. The entire concentric pattern is laid on a stunning Aventurine Green ground. Very difficult to capture in photographs but stunning in person. This was later in the Gary's career when is was already recognized as one of the leading paperweight makers in the world. The paperweight is signed "Parabelle Glass Artist Proof 1999" and also has the paper sticker. My photographs do not do it justice. The bright spots you see in my photos are reflections of the overhead lights. The weight is problem free with no chips or bruises. If you are considering this paperweight I would not wait too long as it will probably sell fairly quickly.
