Spiral Swirl Art Glass Paperweight Cranberry Lustre White Trout Studios Pink VTG

Attractive signed art glass paperweight created by Trout Studios of Staunton, VA. This was difficult to photograph because it has an iridescent lustre (these are known as lustre paperweights.) Signed but it is difficult to make out because of the pontil scar (a hallmark of their work) In the last picture I highlighted it in pencil to make it easier to see (pencil has since been removed.) The glass is cranberry pink and white, if you look closely you can see a faint pink mottling in the white as well. Approx size: 2.5" h x 3" w, weighs 1 lb. Condition: Excellent, I am not seeing any defects. Keats said "A thing of beauty is a joy forever". Each of us has a different idea of what "beauty" is. I find quality vintage items and offer them to you, the beholder. Have you found your thing of beauty?
