    It has a mark but I don't recognize it and can't find it. Thanks.

    Just from the accent over that W, I'm going to guess Eastern European. It's pretty cool.

    Yeah, it is pretty cool. King kitsch. Top o' the heap.
    Niagara Falls stuff doesn't do well but this transcends the norm.

    I thought the mark was CW, but I dunno.

    I believe that "C" is a copyright mark - ©

    Wait! NOW I see the conjoined CW.

    Never mind - carry on. :shame:

    Well thank you all!
    I was thinking maybe it was a Canadian maker. No?

    I crave ! I crave ! I looked at 100s,if not 1000s of paperweights,art glass,etc,and saw nothing like this.truly gorgeous piece. I think its a "w" with an umulat (?) over it ?

    Now that's what I call gaudy perfection. I'd have given that house room too.

    @Bookahtoo you should post this on the Glass Message Board. They have a paperweight section and someone will know the maker. Looks like a nice one.

    they are very helpful and nice! Most of the posters for paperweights are based overseas so it might be tomorrow before you get an answer.

    I also searched and could not find the maker. It's beautiful Book, it would look great in my Niagara Falls collection. Please let me know when you list it please. Thanks.
