Description

 

These two paperweights are either glass or crystal.They are very heavy for their size, No markings on the bottoms except for a faded silver tag on the one with the mushrooms inside. The mushroom "egg" has tthree mushrooms  with stems and then opening out in each direction, The Mushrooms are burgundy and white spotted at the tops only. Stems are white  and all go down to a small "pot" that is mostly transparent with red, orange, yellow and a hint of green all swirled and dotted No scratches and the whole piece is seamless. Small flower one has 7 small elongated bubbles pointing up along and inside the bottom. The flower looks like a small firework that reaches the middle height inside. It is very frilly and fringed. The colors go white green blue red yellow white green blue white red yellow blue red.  There is an indent in the top the size of a thumb. It is extremely hard to photograph. Smallest one is about 1 1/2" tall and wide. Mushroom egg is about 3" high and 2 1/2' at widest point.

Thank you for any info you can give me.
