Antique Millville Wig Holder Glass Art Footed Paperweight Pedestal Tutti Frutti
antique
Comments Off
This lovely wig holder / pedestal paperweight has a colorful tutti frutti floral look. From what we can gather, we believe this is a Millville, NJ piece with its five ice pick bubbles and similar size and shaping of others attributed to the brand. In good antique condition–wear is consistent with age and use. There is a very small chip on the side of the globe. It is nearly impossible to see with the busy design, and it clearly does not affect the beauty of this piece. The stem is clouded. We believe this was intentional. The bottom of the holder has the most expected wear. A rare, fun find! Please see photos for more detail.

Comments Off
An Exceptional 3 Antique Glass Paperweight. With an American Wheatie penny inside! A perfect example of American Art Glass whimsy, this antique glass paperweight houses a Wheatie penny! While the copper penny adds charm, this hand-blown ornament is full of End-of-Day yellow, red, white, and black color splash! The penny has plenty of room to freely dance in the paperweight, and changes size depending on your perspective! This piece is unsigned but bears a rough base where a pontil scar was removed flat. The American Wheatie penny is from 1919. The piece is likely a product of early 20. Century glassworks in the Midwest or East Coast. Other paperweights will be added in the next few months.
