Footnotes

Provenance
Livingston Collection

This paperweight belongs to a rare class previously attributed to early Clichy, but it is now generally accepted that these were in fact produced by Pantin. See Paul Dunlop, 'Late Clichy, or What?', PCA Bulletin (2005), pp.22-3 for a discussion. A patterned millefiori example containing very similar white and pink rose canes is illustrated by Paul Dunlop, The Dictionary of Glass Paperweights (2009), p.240, fig.339.
