Alan Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 sorry alan, i just can't find one Although I own some weights - I'm by no means a good person to estimate. Perhaps posting it on a paperweight board might lead you towards an artist/value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoop Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Could you take pics from the top looking down and of the base at an angle, so that the texture shows?? Was there any sort of history that came with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any sort of history that came with it? got a few more pix of it. no history with it, the person got it from someone else. maybe you could just give me a guess and no i won't hold you to anything you say o.k.? thanks, jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Opinion: It appears to have a construction in the "Jetson" style - but simplified to a single ring. It is a fairly simple piece - often sold at gift shops etc. Given that it is unsigned - it could be an someone's early piece. There is nothing in the glass or the style that points in any clear direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoop Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I have to second Alan's opinion... Unless there was someone who simply recognized it, it's a tough call... The good news is... My first thought was "Chinese." It may be Chinese, or not... But, the clean polish of the base looks better than the usual fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
