Short History of Charles Kazium Jr. Charles Kaziun has been called the “Father of the American Paperweight Renaissance” for his influential role in the modern era of paperweight making. Charles began his 6 decade long career in the art glass making field at an early age of 14. One of the pioneers of paperweight making, Charles Kaziun began working in 1940s to recreate the lost techniques of the French glass factories. His work includes a wide range of millefiori, lampwork, sulphide. And crimp flower paperweights, as well as faceted perfume bottles and other related Art Glass items. Born on May 18. 1919 he became a renowned Art Glass Artist who challenged the boundaries of creating works of art glass that to this day are still admired and inspiring. He was able to perfect the art of miniaturization and created some of the most amazing detail in such a small space. During his lifetime he used a large variety of “K” signature canes. His later work often contains, in addition to the signature cane, a small 14k gold foil “K”, embedded on the underside of the weight. Died in January, 1992.
