Beautiful Rare Early Josh Simpson Iridescent Glass Paperweight 1975 Great Design

Description

This is truly a spectacular Josh Simpson Glass paperweight. We believe it to be rare and early as it is dated 1975 and the signature is extremely faint and very hard to see. It has wonderful iridescent colors and a great design pattern as shown in the pictures taken with and without flash. It is in beautiful condition for its age, with no chips, cracks, hairlines or repairs. The Simpson signature is very similar to the way the later pieces are signed. You do not see too many pieces by this artist prior to 1980. The bottom of the paperweight is signed: Simpson 1975. This piece would make a wonderful addition to anyone’s fine glass paperweight collection. It measures about 2 1/2 inches tall by about 3 inches wide. If anyone has any tidbit of information about this piece please let me know. Please review all pictures carefully as they constitute part of the description.
