Amber squat paperweight_1
Amber squat paperweight_1
Amber glass paperweight with odd flat topped crown and the punti mark looks to have been touched with a thin flat tool to flatten it out a bit while cooling (very hard to photograph) and has no signature. When I first saw it I thought of Ogishi's early pieces, but I don't think so, it has a lots of bubbles. I just seems too dark for chinese?
