Torsade. circa 1960-1980. This is a marvelous

an outer white twist torsade. The rose has three sepals, two
longer leaves and a green stem. At the base of the stem is
bit of aventurine, perhaps intended as a ribbon. The design
is set on an opaque aqua ground. The paperweight is tilted
at a 45 degree angle so it displays beautifully. Signed on
the underside of the ground with a gold foil K. A great

The rose is made with a tiny molten glass rod. Note: Please note that this is slightly larger
than the typical Kaziun #1. I have been referring to this
size as a #2. Charles Kaziun Jr. was one of the most famous of the American paperweight artists. He is often credited with contributing to the rebirth of interest in paperweight making.

| 4407 | Charles Kaziun Jr. Crimp Rose Tilted
Upright Pedestal Paperweight - Dark Pink. circa
1960-1980. This small tilted upright pedestal paperweight
features a magnificent crimp rose with fifteen variegated dark

leaves. The petals are arranged in Kaziun's 4+4+4+3 crimp
pattern. It is signed on the underside of the rose with
Kaziun's complex signature cane having a K in the center
surrounded by six heart canes. Because the rose is tilted,
the signature cane is visible from the back and also through the
base. The design is set on a clear ground and supported by a
pedestal base. A fantastic addition to any collection of
glass paperweights.

This was considered the ultimate icon of glass perfection. It took Charles almost four years and many thousands of dollars worth of experimentation to succeed. Many collectors consider the pedestal rose the pinnacle of Kaziun's artistry. Charles Kaziun Jr. was one of the most famous of the American paperweight artists.
