Featured Two Unsigned Paperweights - Any ideas?

I'm addicted to spaceflight and astronomy themed weights. I've got the newer Caithness ones, but I'd kill for older ones.

 

Mine are all new, so I know your pain.

 

This sold one is similar to the Millefiori one:

Cool. I paid $25. Thank you for this insight in the value. I was trying to find the artist and I see that Peter McDougall used these tiny canes and twisted pieces. Do you know?

 

I love paperweights! And these two are gorgeous!

 

Thank you. I’m very happy to get them.

No real info here,

 

Many of the Perth weights had those twisted canes. Not sure of the pattern number of yours. Shame they've not shown an image of the ladybird's label.

 

Oh no. I'm going back to get another one and it's all your fault @Ownedbybear

 

Excellent find. It's just like mine. I wish they had a picture of the label. Thank you.

 

Okay. I was just reading up about the Perth weights in case another crosses my path, I'll know what to look for. I saw the small cans were his specialty. I buy almost every good paperweight I see in a thrift, but they are rare.

You are I are thinking along the same lines - teasing us about a label and not showing it. You refer to the tiny little red guy as a ladybird, and we across the ocean as a ladybug. I'll try a search with ladybird instead. Thanks.

 

Changing it to ladybird helped. This one confirms OBB's Chinese but not much more

@janettekay - Any thoughts?

 

There you go. As I say, those flowers and colours are typical of 30s Chinese. The glass is also more sort of greyish yellow than some modern ones.

 

I had no doubt that you were right. Thank you for clarifying how you knew. I would never had guessed!

 

Here's our local Paperweight artist .... lundberg glass paperweight

I did find a Lundberg paperweight (since the link is to them) at Goodwill awhile back that fits the space theme though of a different type.

 

Starry starry night!

 

Show off. I have three from nearby California artists but none of them made the big time like Lundberg. How many Lundberg Studios weights do you have?

 

That is wonderful. Nothing that beautiful would slip by here. Congratulations!
