Zephyr Glass Works Paperweight
The second paperweight in our collection with its ribbed gourd shape is clear-cased over a solid core with a light green-gold iridescent finish. It is signed on the bottom: “Zephyr ’82.”
A third example of Zephyr is a perfume bottle in the Blue Lustre Collection. It has a foil label on the bottom: “Zephyr Glass Works, Santa Cruz, California.” This perfume was advertised by Renaissance Marketing, Inc., Lake Orion, MI, in 1983. Another page from Renaissance Marketing described “The American Art Glass Renaissance — uniquely formulated with real silver, the lustre art glass created by Zephyr Glassworks is hand-crafted, studio signed, and true to the American art glass tradition of Tiffany, Steuben, and Quezal.”
