Hi Hillary,
the last in the series of paperweight emails. The first few are by Charlie Gibson. These can range in price from $25 to$75. The last picture is a crystal paperweight with bubbles by Carl Erickson of Erickson Glass. Although Erickson Glass was in Ohio, Carl worked for Blenko in the late 1930's and early 1940's before leaving to open his own glass factory with his brother. Erickson was responsible for most of the "pre-designer" work at Blenko (prior to Anderson). We acquired this piece from Mrs. Ball in Milton. It is about 75 years old.
Thanks

Superior craftsmanship!
This could be European glass.
Delightful
Do you have more of Charlie Gibsons work? Where is his shop?
How does one find Charlie Gibson? I will assume he is a West Virginian or else Hilary would not be promoting Charlie correct?

A couple of notes. The Erickson picture was not shown as described in the note. Also, Mr. Gibson no longer makes glass.
