Lot Footnotes
Note: A major competitor to St. Louis and Baccarat, the Clichy factory dominated the mid-19th century market for glass paperweights manufactured from soda-based boracic glass, equalling lead crystal for clarity. The Clichy factory was the only French glass factory to exhibit at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London. So-called 'scramble' paperweights are bright yet softly coloured, similar in design to close-packed paperweights. The commonest colours to feature in a Clichy 'scramble' are pink, green, and white.
