Smaller groupings from Italy, Bohemia, Russia, and China are also represented here. Some of the famous paperweight-makers included are Charles Kaziun, Paul Ysart, Paul Stankard, Rick Ayotte, Victor Trabucco, and John Gooderham. The Museum’s J. A. Howson Brocklebank Fund allows for the continuing purchase of important paperweights. Glass Worlds: Paperweights from the ROM’s Collection is the catalogue of an exhibition, of the same name, held at the Royal Ontario Museum, April 28, 2007 to November 25, 2007.
