Ysart, Paul

A millefiori star on a most unusual ground - a “marbleized” translucent amber surface that merges into amber/white jasper on the underside. Another interesting feature: the complex canes spaced between the points of the star: green & white tubes surrounded by upright orange/red rods. Orange/whit..

A great weight for someone who wants a good Ysart at a reasonable price ! A beautiful star design - meticulously-executed on an unusual opaque pale-cream ground. 6 different types of complex millefiori canes plus 2 simpler canes around the cobalt-blue, orange, white & green centre cane. The cane..

A 6-point star centred by a large white, red & yellow cane. Green/white composite canes & white corrugated canes form the points, each of which ends in a small pink, white & yellow cog cane. 6 complex millefiori canes are spaced around the perimeter. An unusual feature is the pinkish-mauve “crushed ..

A relatively small- and fairly rare - Harland closepack containing approx. 85 simple, complex and extremely complex millefiori canes. Around the perimeter are a few larger canes - a feature often found in older closepacks - with smaller canes in between. There are a number of repeats but it is still..

A large early closepack with approx. 20 mainly complex millefiori canes set around the perimeter as a garland enclosing the closepack centre.  Altogether there are some 70 simple and complex canes set on a translucent green ground. Fire-polished, concave base with an unfinished pontil mark.&nbs..

A magnum-size closepack with a series of larger millefiori canes forming the border garland for the simple and complex canes which form a high cushion around an attractive centre cane composed of purple, white & crimson “daisies”. An unusual feature: two lengths of latticinio - filled with aventurin..

Set on a thin, opaque mid-blue ground are what appear to be a mixture of early Paul and Salvador Ysart canes. So who made it? Opinions differ! Was it a trial to test compatibility. Whoever made it, the weight is an interesting cane study...especially the butterfly cane at 3 o’clock which is often at..

Unlike the usual fountain weights with their solid coloured rods, this one has pale-pink filigree threads enhanced with copper aventurine which rise up to a centre bubble before dividing into 6 arms. Each arm has an elongated bubble attached to it just above the point where it touches the blue jaspe..

6 shaded-pink rods form a “stem” before arching outwards - like a fountain - from a central silver bubble and falling back to the orange ground. Above the point where they touch the ground, each rod has an elongated bubble attached to it.This one is signed with a rare green/white “H” cane - on the u..

5 clusters of complex millefiori canes - each made up of 3 large and 3 smaller canes - are set around a centre cluster on an opaque mid-blue ground. The green/white/red canes spaced around the perimeter are centred by yellow cog canes.Slightly concave fire-polished base with a small unfinished ponti..

An unusual variation of the roundel pattern. Instead of 5 cane circlets plus 5 canes around the border, this variation has a complex centre cane surrounded by 3 cane groups (each composed of 4 canes in a diamond shape) with 3 complex millefiori canes set between them and - correspondingly - 6 canes ..

A popular pattern that the artist made throughout his long career. 5 circlets of canes - combining simple cogs and tubes with composite canes - set around a 2-row complex centre cane with 5 canes spaced around the perimeter between the clusters. Colours range from coral-pink, pale-green, yellow & li..
