In the early 1970s Chris Buzzini joined the Orient & Flume Art Glass Studio before going on to Lundberg Studios and Correia Art Glass, where he worked from 1983 to 1986. Years of experience and study allowed him to develop his lampworking skills and in 1986 he set up his own studio. His beautiful and botanically-accurate designs have kept him at the forefront of paperweight making. In his early weights, which were usually small limited editions, he used a signature cane with his name and a two digit date. Since ca. 1990 he has been signing and dating his weights on the side, often with an inscription, or more recently, with a number. Most of his weights today are 1/1 designs.
