The fancy paperweights of the New England Glass Company: "throughout the Victorian era the fancy glass worker found in the paper-weight an object for the exercise of his ingenuity. It was particularly suitable for gift-giving and he could make it an expression of his individual fancy.".
The allure of fancy paperweights as described by Lura Woodside Watkins as early as 1930 remains with us today. The term "fancy glass" that she used describes intricate and technically remarkable glass objects, including paperweights, that incorporate lampworked or millefiori decoration. The New England Glass Company in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, was one of the most important producers of this type of work, and its paperweights have been described as "very excellent examples of their class." (2) While some of the New England Glass Company's weights were production pieces, many were made as one-of-a-kind presentation pieces by superbly skilled artisans.
