About this lot

Attributed Brand: Bob Banford

Period: 20th Century

Style: Motif, Lampwork

Base: Clear

Diameter: 2.98 in.

Weight: 1.13 lb

Condition: No obvious flaws.

Additional Description: This lampwork floral art glass paperweight is executed in the style of Victor Trabucco. The lampwork design features a striking six-petaled blue flower with finely ribbed petals and bright yellow stamens, accompanied by two delicate pink buds and richly detailed green leaves, all set against a white ground beneath a polished clear dome. The clean botanical composition and precise lampworking are characteristic of the American studio paperweight movement and closely resemble Trabucco’s floral studies, though the paperweight is not signed and therefore should be attributed as being “in the style of Victor Trabucco” rather than by the artist himself. The presence of both Selman Brothers Fine Art (SBF) and JOMH (John O’Mara House) dealer labels further indicate that the piece was recognized as a quality collectible paperweight within the specialty paperweight market.
