The flower carries two emerging buds, one yellow and one pink, on a sturdy stem with a crown of five variegated leaves. Clear ground. “Whoever made these extraordinary weights was a master at flower-making.” —The Encyclopedia of Glass Paperweights. “Among the most spectacular roses immersed in the largest gathers of glass are those made in New Bedford, Massachusetts, after 1869, when the Mount Washington Glass Company was founded.” —Paperweights: Flowers which clothe the meadows.

20 20 Rare antique Saint Louis upright bouquet encased faceted overlay paperweight.

The flowers are gathered into a bouquet with radial serrated green leaves. Clear encased pink-over-white double overlay with six and one facets.

Clear, star-cut ground. “Encased double overlays, however, are a remarkable achievement on any terms. The inner overlaid paperweight had to be annealed and, when cold, faceted like any other overlay weight, often more elaborately. Then the overlaid weight had to be reheated so that an outer covering of clear glass would adhere without cracking the original weight. When one considers the overlay design requirements...it is no wonder these intricate weights are much sought after and very expensive to acquire.”

120 Vandermark Merritt Glass Studios 1985 “Orchid” diatreta and insculpture paperweight, by Barry Sautner and Doug Merritt. An orchid, with attending leaves and roots, is carved inward into a shimmering three-dimensional masterpiece, called insculpture. The flower is further glorified, above a textured frosted surface, by a stylized wreath of stems, roots, five drooping buds and four flowers that have been expertly carved into several layers of opaque green, white and pink glass, an ancient technique called diatreta. Edition #5 of a limited edition of 10. Signed/dated.

Greek for “latticework”, diatreta carvings are created by removing glass from beneath the design and releasing forms, in this case flowers and leaves, from a vitreous mass while leaving behind a meticulous network of posts which binds the lattice to the original subject. This specimen is a sublime example of the techniques developed at the Vandermark Merritt studio.
