Mike Hunter Twists Glass Page 1
Master glassmaker Michael Hunter started his career at Wedgwood Glass in 1974, eventually setting up Twists Glass Studio in 1998 with his wife Sue. Mike's work has been exhibited all over the world including in top museums including the Victoria and Albert, and he's won several prestigious awards.
In recent years Mike has started to branch out, and much to the delight of collectors has started to make a very small number of paperweights. These are made only on the few occasions when the furnace isn't in use for art glass.
The paperweights incorporate many different techniques including torchwork and millefiori, all of very high quality. Mike's closepack millefioris have made a particular impression with paperweight collectors and these have been eagerly snapped up almost as soon as we've received them!
When we saw this weight we knew we just had to have it! It's packed with silhouettes, an otter, swan, seagull and numerous butterflies. We've counted 6 different kinds of large butterflies, but in addition there are 5 complex canes with small butterflies in them and these total 19.

Ref TG 3091 Lavender Roses - 1 of 1
These beatiful lavender roses have proved very popular, in fact we could have sold the first weight containing these a number of times over. We have persuaded Mike to make another weight for us and
of course it is different to the first one as he is very strict on his weights being unique. It has different border canes and includes an extra ring of the moss green canes which contrast so well with the roses.
