Chris Buzzini Sinuous Chicory Paperweight

This weight depicts the sinuous chicory plant in bloom. It consists of a fully open bloom, a partially open bloom, two opening buds and two fully closed buds all arranged on an olive stem with two spear shaped leaves in olive and dark green. The squared off petals of the blooms are in pale blue, accented with black filament stamens. This weight is a part of Buzzini’s American Beauty Florals series, which consisted of ten weights, each limited to an edition of 25. The base has been ground concave and polished. There is a scratch signature reading “Buzzini’98 C 3/25″ on the side of the weight. It is 3.4″ in diameter and 2.2″ tall, and is in perfect condition. In addition to photos of the weight that I took, I have also included a professional photo of this exact weight, attribution unknown. Chris Buzzini began working in glass in 1970. He was an important contributor to many art glass studios around the country, including Bridgeton Studios, Correia Art Glass, Lundberg Studios, and Orient & Flume Art Glass. In 1986 he opened his own one-man studio in Oregon, where he concentrated on lampworking. The item “Chris Buzzini Sinuous Chicory Paperweight” is in sale since Tuesday, March 9, 2021.

Vintage 1990 CHRIS HEILMAN’Blue Swirl Celestial Clouds’ Art Glass PAPERWEIGHT

ORIGINAL 1990 CHRIS HEILMAN’BLUE SWIRL’ PAPERWEIGHT. This is just a great original piece. Chris Heilman is a contemporary master glass blower who has been creating paperweights and glass sculpture for the last 25 years plus. This is one of his earlier pieces that I have been able to find. Singed and dated 1990 on the bottom, this is a wonderful piece with great blue whispy cloud like swirls inside with some bubbles. It was tough to photograph as the flash kept bouncing off a different part of the swirl. In the first two pictures the orange streaks across are actually reflections. The other photos I took without the flash. Wonderful swirls throughout and mostly clear inside allows the light to reflect every which way and you can see through the piece. The paperweight stands about 3 inches tall and about 4 inches in diameter. Clean with no scratches or chips to the glass. There is a few very minor scratches on the bottom. Really a wonderful piece. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY. If you have any questions regarding the work, please dont hesitate to ask. Pictures are an excellent indication of condition. I guarantee and stand 100% behind everything I sell. No reason to open up any sort of cases. Just simply contact me and I will handle any and all problems.
