One of the most significant paperweight designs of the modern era, the Banford Basket represents a masterful marriage of the lampworker’s hot-work and the glass cutter’s cold-work. A beautiful arrangement of delicate red and white roses, complemented by lush green foliage, is expertly executed by Ray Banford and encased in a rich red-over-white overlay. The composition is further elevated by the extraordinary precision and intricate cutting of Edward Poore, whose elaborate basketweave pattern transforms the piece into a true masterpiece. The result is a remarkable collaboration between two masters of their respective crafts. An iconic design that deserves a place in every major paperweight collection.
