Rare antique Saint Louis pink aster on a latticinio swirl paperweight. A beautiful aster, with fours tiers of variegated long pink and pointed petals, has a red and white floret at its nexus and sits atop a radically curving, slender stem shared by three ribbed, dark green leaves. Two additional leaves crest the bloom from behind, dark and furled and with a hint of chartreuse at their edges. White double swirl latticinio ground. From the George Kulles Collection. Very slight surface wear. Diameter 2 7/8".
