Spread around a red, Clichy-type rose is an arched canopy of closely-packed millefiori canes.  The colourful complex canes are set on a filigree double-swirl pedestal foot with 2 white twist torsades. Signed and dated with an SL1976 cane within the design. Polished, concave base with a broad wear ri..

A combination of millefiori and lampwork in this design: with 2 pink-centred, yellow Clichy-type roses supported on green stems bearing a number of leaves and a single stem with a yellow bud.  The design is set over an opaque two-tone blue ground.An SL1976 signature/date cane is set in the underside..

A lampwork design with a red & purple fuchsia flower, 2 buds and green leaves borne on fine pink branches sprouting from a cluster of green leaves. The design is set over a white filigree double spiral. The weight is finished with a circular top facet and 6 side facets.Signed with a pink/white SL 19..

Probably made as a prototype for a new edition, this attractive design is not illustrated in Gérard Ingold’s book “The Art of the Paperweight - St. Louis”. However, it does contain an SL1976 date cane at the centre of the pale-lemon, 10-petalled flower borne on a short stem with 3 dark-green ruffled..

18 complex millefiori canes are evenly spaced in 2 concentric rings around a composite red, white & blue centre cane (containing the initials SL) over a blue ground. The colour ground is shaded from dark-blue in the centre to a lighter blue around the perimeter.Apart from the centre cane, the SL ini..

Similar in design to the antique crowns made by St. Louis in the 19th Century, this modern handcooler has 8 blue & red twisted ribbons - edged in opaque white - alternating with white, multi-ply filigree twists. The ribbons radiate out from a pink/white SL1976 signature/date cane and extend into the..

Set on a latticinio double swirl ground are numerous red cherries - some with yellow stalks & green leaves, some just with yellow stalks. The crystal is cut with a circular top window and 6 round side facets.A pink/white SL1975 signature/date cane is set in the latticinio swirl at 6 o’clock in the m..

A patterned millefiori design composed of 7 different, relatively simple millefiori canes set in lines over a clear ground.  Colours range from turquoise & pale-blue through dark & pale-green to pink, purple & brick-red. The outer canes are drawn into the base and form a multi-coloured basket.  This..

Probably a trial design that never went into production - it certainly is not illustrated in the St. Louis book - but is signed with a complex SL1975 date cane. 2 roses - fashioned from coiled strips of red/white ribbon - and a single red bud, are borne on 2 stems with pale-green leaves and set over..

7 concentric rows of white-edged red “C” canes set over a dark-red cushion underlaid with white. As so often in these “honeycomb” weights there are a couple of slightly distorted canes - mainly in the 3rd and 4th rows (see the second side image).Signed with an SL 1974 signature/date cane in the cent..

Although it has an SL1974 signature/date cane - the “C” canes in this honeycomb are deep maroon rather than red. Perhaps it was a colour trial or prototype as the canes are not so fine as usual, nor are they perfectly aligned, which makes it appear tightly packed. It coould have been one of the firs..
