Another unsigned paperweight - sigh!!!!

This paperweight came along on the shelf lot with the Alabaster bookends. It has a cut & polished bottom, but is not signed anywhere I could find.

It is 3 1/4" to the top.

I am hoping the unusual design might give someone a clue as to the maker. The orange & yellow "blob" in the center is covered with tiny bubbles. It kind of reminds me of a jellyfish. The "blob" is surrounded by 6 "indented" spots that are open to the top.



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!

 

My opinion is it's funky enough for me to love it!

 

I think it's a pen holder. No clue who made it. I have a customer on eBay who loves these things. Especially those with lots of holes.

They would have to be those skinny Bic pens or pencils. My chunky pen with the cushioned grip won't fit.

Off to search for paperweight pen holders.

 

Don - I think you may be correct. I found others including one with a very familiar user ID.

 

I had one of these years ago....yes..called pen holders (though never did think they would be very convenient !) ...as I recall..mine was made in West Virginia...

 

Yes, my customer doesn't want that one since it only has one hole. I think she forgets she's already contacted me, though, because I keep getting the same question (how many holes). I really should update the description.

Well maybe she will want this one since it has 6 holes.

Thanks for the assist!!

 

Likely not....she probably wants one with only 4 holes !!

 

Fratelli Toso made a lot of these.
