Featured Weird paperweight....

OMG. I see it, too. A little dog in the "play with me" posture, LOL!

 

YESSS!!!! No clue why I can't find him again!!!!! However, my eyes are at half mast, and I don't want the iPad slipping off my lap whilst I slip off to slumber land !!! Will post different angles at a much more decent hour since it's already tomorrow!!!

 

Thanks!!!

 

So, here come 3 more....it's easy to see with the naked eye, but harder to catch on camera!!! The bottom picture shows the difference the best.....There's some "rippling" about 1/3 of the way down from the top as well.....Top and Bottom show that the best......it's strange.....now I want to go find that dog again!!!!!

ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! I CANNOT CATCH THAT DAMN DOG AGAIN IN THE CAMERA!!!!! BLAST!!!

 

Looks very much like a New England Glass Company antique (based on the millefiori canes), but I have never seen anything like this.

 

Thought that was cattywampus...

 

There's something about a child named Charlotte........
What is it???
We talked about her in the past did we not?

 

It is hard to tell from the picture. Paperweights are made in the layers. A paperweight like this would have a clear layer under the canes and sulphide and another encasement layer over the entire design. You may be looking at the line between the two layers. Or, you may have a little fracturing due to incompatibilities between the two layers and the sulphide itself.

 

I think you are thinking about a "Frozen Charlotte".I believe that's what they call the little doll that comes in the Mardi Gras Cakes.

Yes!
That was niggling my brain!!!!

 

Hi,
Do you still have the doll paperweight? I would be interested in it if you do. Thanks, Rob G.

 

well.....2 years on.....but I guess it's still a valid question...!!!

 

Somehow missed this first time around. This is what immediately came to mind upon seeing this .....

 

Sorry, no, it's long gone........

 

OK Thanks
