Art Glass Paperweights
I have a shop that sells art glass. My favorite art glass is paperweights. I have a great deal of fun attending art auctions and buying art glass. I try to take note of what my friends and clients like and dislike.
I usually give people art glass paperweights that I find at art auctions for milestone birthdays and anniversaries. My grandmother turned eighty last October and I discovered a wonderful art glass paperweight for her.
The art glass paperweight that I discovered for my grandmother was produced by Baccarat. I was extremely lucky that this was one of the last things auctioned. A lot of people had already left the art auction when this item went on the block. My grandmother appreciated the pansy design as the pansy is her favorite flower.
My cousin loves frogs. She has managed to decorate her home tastefully with her favorite item. I have been searching for an art glass paperweight for her for years. I finally found one at an art auction I was in the end year. The art glass paperweight featured a frog sitting on a lily pad and the frog was boxed in by blue water. It was really pretty and my cousin started employing it on her desk immediately.
My aunt collects art glass paperweights. I have been asked by her on numerous occasions to find pretty art glass paperweights for her while I'm attending art auctions. Of all of the pieces I've won for her in recent times, one memory sticks out in my memory more than any other.
By far the prettiest art glass paperweight I've ever won at an art auction needs to be one that sports a blue and gold Macaw. Rick Ayotte was the artist that created it and it was even featured in a book of his work. He has manufactured many lovely art glass paperweights.
I have an art glass paperweight in my shop that just won't sell. It has been in the outlet the longest and I think I might have it priced elevated. I won the paperweight at an art auction previously for one thousand dollars. The paperweight was created by Paul Stankard and it ought to have easily sold for twice what I acquired it.
I have no trouble at all selling art glass paperweights that were manufactured by Rick Ayotte. His work seems to draw the most interest. I try to win any auction I find for art glass paperweights he made. I won one not some time past that was pink roses. They looked so breakable and sweet. I recognize that this art glass paperweight will sell quickly.
There have been some inquiries at my shop for art glass paperweights by Richard Marquis. I haven't discovered any in any of the art auctions I've attended recently. I looked at a few of the pieces he's made and I'm not especially impressed.
I will look for the art glass paperweights at the art auctions I attend, but I won't be going way out of my way to track them down. I will just don't forget that Marquis is an artist that some of my clients are really curious about. I'm sure that I will find an art auction with one of his pieces in it at some point.
There were some inquiries about nautical themed art glass paperweights a couple of years ago and I found an exceptional artist that made them. I buy every art glass paperweight I can see that was created by Rick Satava. My favorite needs to be the coral orange jellyfish that I discovered at an art auction an hour from my home. It was really pretty.
The coral orange jellyfish art glass paperweight was just the first Rick Satava piece that I've found at various art auctions. I've also discovered jellyfish in ruby and blue. They're enjoyable on their own or when they are put onto a black light stand that has been built particularly for them.
