Jim Brown can only be described as a “late starter” in the paperweight world. His interest in collecting paperweights was, eventually, no longer enough - he wanted to create them himself ! Beginning in 2000 he first acquired the technical knowledge to work with glass and spent endless hours learning how to make the millefiori canes he had so admired in his antique weights. It was a labour of love that paid off. His great variety of canes and range of weights - concentrics, closepacks and panelled - have the look of classic Bacchus, while his carpet grounds are reminiscent of antique St. Louis. Early weights are scratch-signed on the base; later he incorporated a “B” signature cane in the design.
