HTF Vintage Francis Whittemore California Yellow Poppy Paperweight Signed EUC

Description: This paperweight was owned by my father-in-law's aunt, and we believe it was purchased in the 1970s. It has been in storage in his smoke-free home for the past 20+ years. It is gorgeous and deserves the chance to be better appreciated! This paperweight features a yellow California poppy with green leaves on a red/pink background. It is about 2 1/2" in diameter and 1 3/4" high (at the peak). The base is flat with a concave center. It is signed as mentioned in the condition description with Whittemore's signature cane -- a black W on a yellow background on the underside of the flower. I gave it a gentle polishing with a dry microfiber cloth, and I didn't find any flaws. No chips. No cracks. No scratches. Perhaps just the very slightest of surface scratches on the bottom. Please note that any bright white in any of the photos are just reflections from my overhead lights or windows. I took photos in lots of different types of light and lots of angles to highlight the beauty of this paperweight. Please see the photos for up-close details as part of this description, and please note the stand is not included. It will be packed with extreme care and shipped using USPS Ground Advantage to keep shipping costs as low as possible. Thanks for looking! Please message me with any questions before bidding. Also, if you are interested, please see my other listings for more rare Whittemore paperweights.
