Extremely rare antique Clichy double-tiered flower bouquet paperweight. A double-tiered clematis, unexpectedly with only four variegated purple petals spaced by a second row of matching petals, has at its center a complex cane of three concentric rings of stars and bull's-eye canes, further decorated by green stamens. It crowns a bouquet, with a companion bud at its side, above two uniquely intricate, double-tiered stylized blossoms. To the left, the blossom has multi-layered candy pink petals with blue stamens and a complex concentric cog cane center and to the right, the blossom, accompanied by a bud, has pastry-mold cane petals in blue and white, with pink floret centers, around a central green and white complex cane. The three blooms and two buds grow atop long, leafy green stems that are joined by a blue ribbon wrap. Clear ground. “Some fantastic flowers have petals fashioned from lengths of cane that have been sliced through lengthwise, exposing the interior of the cane, the petal tips showing the bisected cane ends, a remarkable feat and an exercise of imagination that represents paperweight-making at its best.” -- “The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights”. From the C. Frank Kireker Collection. Scattered surface abrasions. Diameter 3 1/16”. [hide]
