Paul Ysart dragonfly paperweight, composed of a central dragonfly, having yellow, blue, and white millefiori wings, and a yellow-spotted gold aventurine body, encircled by a spaced garland of peach and white complex canes, on translucent dark gray ground. Paul Ysart, considered one of the most important contributors to paperweight making in the 20th century, apprenticed at the Saint Louis factory in France, and used that experience to refine his technique to a master level. His millefiori canes, fine examples of which are displayed here, are simplifications of Saint Louis' canes, but his dragonflies, in the view of expert Paul Hollister, "are similar to, but much bolder than the French, [and] are also better executed." -The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights. "PY" clustered signature cane. Diameter 3 1/8". $3000-4000
