I collected them for many years, and stopped because I was running out of room to display them. I have about 20 of them I think. Most of mine are older ones from Joe St. Clair , with deep etching on the glass outside and a signed design on the inside. I don't recall what the interior design pieces are made of. Beautifully done. I look at antique shops for them, and although I have come across Joe St.Clair paperweights, I have not come across ones similar to the ones I own. I also have others from Lumberg studios and Orient & Flume. And other assorted ones picked up here and there. DH and I have had a life long love affair with glass, and one of our favorite places to go is the Corning Glass Museum.

It would be lovely see the weights that you all have collected. They are so varied and every one of them unique and beautiful in their own way.

Pezzie! Interesting, more for me to look up and check on. Thanks. I have to snicker, my husband is looking into collecting "Pez's" and he likes Hummel's.

The Art Institute in Chicago has a great collection of paperweights. One of my favorite exhibits there and I always visit it. They have similar ones for sale in their gift shop. Bought one for my SIL for a Christmas present. I think paperweights are fascinating.

Qualitygal, funny you bring up pez. DD loved them as a kid, and we collected them together for years. She must have over 100 of them, currently all boxed up until she can pick them up to display in her home. She gave me my nick, for the pez collecting! Lol
