    LOUMANAL
    (436 items)

    Went to a local Antiques Show today and picked up one special item; this fabulous "pulled feather" design paperweight that is Lime Green in a pulled pattern over Royal Blue (almost purple amethyst) and with gold iridescence all over. It has a rough pontil underneath with NO markings and measures 3 1/2" in diameter by 2 3/4" tall. The dealer selling it stated that she had accumulated a wonderful collection of glass paperweights over her career, that she had eventually sold but had always held on to this one....her favourite......I agreed it was special.

    ** Made on the Island of Murano by Barovier and Toso and designed by Fenicio/Zebrati in 1950's

      Hi antiquerose! The first photo is a photo of the underbase that is recessed somewhat like an apple. The last photo is a top view of the paperweight. Thank you and Deano for the comments. Thank you also to blunderbuss2, SEAN68, kivatinitz, katherinescollections, Racer4four, Ivonne, sklo42, mikelv85 and smiata for the loves. RER(Bob)

      Thank you Rick55.....unless someone has one in their collection or has come across this particular design on a paperweight, I don't expect to get an ID soon but who knows. RER(BOB)

      WOW!! Thank you eye4beauty! That certainly IS it! Barovier & Toso and with an original label to boot.... can't get more definite than this. I think that my Cobalt with lime feathering is more stunning, but the one shown is quite nice too. Thank you for finding it for me. Thank you also AnneLanders for the love. Bob
