18 Rare antique Clichy blue camellia paperweight. A large shaded-blue flower has a yellow, pink and green crimped millefiori center, surrounded by multiple radiating layers of cascading petals, which are stamped with a faint waffle pattern.

Regardless of their origin, these rare flowers are remarkable examples of the glassmaker’s art.” —Identifying Antique Paperweights: Lampwork.
