Signed Elizabeth Degenhart of the Crystal Art outlets Glass Co. Souvenir of CAMBRIDGE OHIO -PAPERWEIGHT-

The white glass plaque sitting in a layer of multi-colored glass frit in this paperweight says it all; SOUVENIR of CAMBRIDGE, OHIO by ELIZABETH DEGENHART. John Degenhart , Elizabeth's husband outlets, started the Crystal Art Glass Company in 1946 after working at the Cambridge glass company for decades. When John died in 1964 Elizabeth took over production of glass whimsies , animal figurines and also beautiful Paperweights that contained her initials or in rare cases her complete name. Elizabeth was recognized as a Master Glass Artist by the Governor of Ohio who declared a special day to "ELIZABETH DEGENHART- FIRST LADY OF GLASS DAY". She was also honored by Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Gerald Ford. Many of her glass creations are in Museums. This beautiful paperweight has a sticker under-base of the Crystal Art Glass company and measures 3" in diameter by 2 3/8" tall. Along with the multi-colored layer of glass holding the plaque, there is a white puffy cloud layer underneath. The paperweight has a tiny chip on the top right corner that could be polished out but we leave the decision to the new owner. It is an historically important paperweight that would make a fabulous gift. Buyer pays the shipping. We ship only to N. America (Canada-USA)
