Lot 4: A Collection of Six Assorted Art Glass Paperweights
A collection of six assorted glass paperweights showcasing various decorative glassworking techniques. The lot includes a millefiori paperweight featuring concentric rows of multi-coloured canes with radiating white filigree latticinio spokes set against a teal ground. An ovoid paperweight with a mottled iridescent finish in shades of cobalt blue and green resembles the work of John Ditchfield for Glassform. The collection also contains a clear faceted crystal paperweight with cut foliate decoration to the top, and a spherical scramble paperweight featuring an internal arrangement of multi-coloured canes and swirls. Completing the group is a purple swirl paperweight with an internal spiral design in shades of lavender and white, and a dark green spherical paperweight featuring a controlled bubble (bullicante) pattern, possibly by Caithness Glass. Each item bears a white adhesive label numbered 7, and three items also feature an orange adhesive label numbered 4. No maker marks are visible.
