Large Art Glass, Controlled Bubble Paperweight by Liskeard Glass, England c 1970

About the Item

Large art-glass paperweight, crafted in the 1970s by the renowned English glassmakers Liskeard Glass, showcases the exquisite 'bullicante' technique through its display of internal bubbles. Encasing a spiral or helix shape at its center, the intricate detailing and craftsmanship of this piece are testament to the skill Liskeard Glass was celebrated for. Unusually large, standing at 15cm in height, it serves beautifully as a decorative ornament. With Liskeard Glass no longer in operation, this paperweight is not only a rarity but also an ideal collectible for enthusiasts of paperweights and art glass alike.
