I'm somewhat amazed at the number of 'collections' that have somehow started and grown in an 'ad hoc' manner. A common situation ... no? Here's another piece of art glass that we acquired over 20 years ago.
This Erickson piece (Bremen, OH. 1943 - 1961) has a beautiful pale, golden amber fan-shaped bowl that nicely compliments the air-twist bubble paperweight base. My only complaint is that it's quite a 'dust collector.'
