    Arte Vargas Paperweight from Canada. Pretty colors. Fits perfectly in the palm of my hand. Not sure if small hands or paperweight?

      Nice, but I don't know.
      There is a Facebook group that might be able to help and I know that Ross, the moderator, is very knowledgeable about Australian Glass.

      I've never seen one of these for sale locally 2nd hand. I find his vases here and there and buy the odd one I find splendid. Robert Held hearts (doesn't sign everything) I can find a half doz. or more a year......just never an Arte Vargas (signs everything). I'll pop by his studio 2moro for a look and see what's up with the hearts. I don't recall seeing them last time I was there, but they should be there somewhere I'd imagine. Nice find btw.

      Yes great piece!!! When I saw it I thought of my RH hearts. It was what popped in my mind.

      See.....I am never too old to learn New things!!! Live and Learn 4 me !!
