Paul Stankard Glass Botanical Honey Bee "Fertile" Orb Paperweight

Item Details

Description

This is a stunning example of the artistry of Paul Stankard (American, b.1943), a renowned glass blower best known for his incredible paperweights. A paperweight made by Paul Stankard is immediately recognizable by the remarkably lifelike designs suspended within. Stankard is often considered the father of modern art glass paperweights. Before him, floral art glass paperweights usually featured brightly colored, botanically incorrect designs. Stankard dedicated himself to creating highly detailed, highly realistic creations. The extraordinary lifelike depiction of plants, flowers, and insects is a remarkable achievement in glassblowing. It is signed in the cane and titled "Fertile".

It appears undated, but here is some information for a related example:Lauria, Joe and Steve Fenton. "Craft in America: Celebrating Two Centuries of Artists and Objects." Clarkson Potter/Publishers, New York, 2007. p. 218 .
The diameter is 4". The circumference is 12.5".
