Early Debbie Tarsitano (late 1970s) experimental bee and pink zinnia faceted paperweight. Many tiers of fine pink-shaded petals radiate around a yellow filament stamen center to create a lush zinnia. Two trios of green leaves halo the bloom on opposite sides and space four stems, with a three-petalled bloom each, and two single green leaves. A rare bumblebee has been drawn by the sweet smell of the artist’s favorite flower. Star-cut clear ground. Six and one facets by Ed Poore. Signature cane. Fine condition. Diameter 2 3/4".
