FABULOUS VINTAGE GENTILE GLASS PAPERWEIGHT


Presenting a stunning vintage art glass paperweight, expertly handcrafted and beautifully finished at John Gentile's Gentile Glass Company in Star City West Virginia.

This exceptionally fine example features a mottled opaque blue trumpet flower exploding atop a multi-coloured undulated ground. A richly coloured mosaic of opaque yellow, green, red, blue, orange, pink and white colour the undulating ground, creating a radiant kaleidoscope of colour. The expertly formed petals of the trumpet flower surround a central encapsulated air bubble forming the centre of the flower.

Randomly sized encapsulated air bubbles appear throughout the paperweight, adding a lovely jewel-like sparkle.

The solid clear glass orb acts as a lens, spectacularly magnifying and distorting the radiant colours and shapes within to create stunning optical effects.

SIZE: This fine paperweight stands approx 70mms tall and measures 75mms in diameter.

CONDITION: This exceptional example is presented in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, bruises, scratches or repairs. Minor wear to the base consistent with age mentioned for complete accuracy. This stunning piece has been very well cared for and presents spectacularly.


MARKS: This piece is beautifully marked to the base with an impressed pontil mark of a ship with the letter "G" appearing upon its main sail. This mark was only used by Gentile glass in the year 1977, perfectly dating this fine example.
  • This stunning piece would make an outstanding addition to any Gentle art glass or quality paperweight collection
  • A perfect gift idea for the discerning admirer of fine quality, hand crafted objects of sheer beauty
