Salvador Ysart - the founder of the Ysart/Vasart paperweight-making dynasty - signed very few paperweights. This low-domed, 4-row concentric, around a white, red and yellow centre cane - which is slightly distorted due to an air bubble partly underneath it - is set on an opaque aqua ground.
The Y signature cane is in the outer row. The purple tint to the glass would indicate an early weight - possibly 1930's. The base is fire-polished with the pontil mark removed by light grinding.
