Abstract
paperweight
of dark green/grey glass with swirls of black and clay
blue. Bears some resemblance to the the British
style of A.J. Thorneycroft. This pontil is
partially ground out however the piece is
unsigned. (Normally, the British weight would be
scratch signed AJT with a date.)

Unusual red over white
'plaque' with painted gilt design over a deep blue/white
ground. The piece is eight-sided with eight fancy
cuts at the top of each facet edge. The base is
slightly concave and polished to expose the white
layer. Four small drill holes in base suggest that
this may have been designed to sit atop an object such as
a jar, for example. Unknown maker. Source
suggests that this is Belgian, certainly European.
Diameter 3 1/4", height 1 5/8".
