Part I: A ntique Paperweights and R elated Objects 1 Very rare antique Mount Washington dimensional rose and berry bouquet magnum paperweight. A striking aubergine and white-shaded rose, its crenulated petals cascading from a bourgeoning yellow center, rises from a sturdy green stem, flanked by plump pink buds. The large bloom has a prominent crown of green leaves, with the exception of a lone pink leaf, and is flanked by trios of green leaves from which rise small bouquets. Each bouquet is centered by an emerging flower, wrapped in green sepals and surrounded by bright blue berries and pink-shaded yellow berries that wind on thin stems. The use of the upright bouquet in conjunction with a horizontal bouquet is striking and innovative, pushing the dimensional boundaries of the art form. The resulting display exudes celebratory formality, perhaps in honor of a plentiful bounty or other festive tiding. Clear ground. Discussed and pictured in the November 1955 PCA Bulletin, page 17, as part of the Mr. Nello de Facci-Negrati collection. Mentioned in the 1988 PCA Bulletin, page 18, and discussed and pictured in the 1992 PCA Bulletin, page 5, as part of the Baroness de Bellet collection. Previously sold in the Fine Paperweights from the collection of the Late Baroness of Bellet Bonhams London auction, May 19, 2010, as lot 50, and pictured on page 23.

The excellent design boasts a rare 1849 date cane, which confirms that the excellence of this design is the result of years of experience in paperweight making. Dense pure white upset muslin cushion ground, with bits of colored filigree visible from the underside. Diamond-cut basel ring. Diameter 3 15/16" $9,000—12,000 2

The quatrefoils, red and collared by opaque white, appear as a ring of twelve around a single one at the center of each cane, the latter encircled by small half circle petals and surrounded by a ban of cobalt blue.

9 Very rare antique Saint Louis red, white and green marbrie paperweight.

A thin layer of clear glass encases the design. This very rare type of weight was made almost exclusively by Saint Louis and not many are known. The term marbrie is derived from the French word for marble. It was most likely chosen to describe the effect the glass artisans achieved with this design. The festooned marbrie design is believed to have been derived from an Old English decorative practice of displaying what were known as “witch balls”. Witch balls were hollow blown glass balls hung by the superstitious in their doorways to ward off evil spirits. Excellent condition. Diameter 2 3/4" $3,000—4,000

The millefiori garland forms a decorative frame of flowers around the colorful insect.”—The Art of the Paperweight: Challenging Tradition. Previously sold in L.H.
