Help with a Paperweight and a little dish

[ssenirp55]

Hi all, hoping someone can help with these two items...paperweight looks a bit yellow in my pictures but it is crystal clear, age,,maker??  Small dish is very thin and fragile...what would I call it.   Thank you in advance

The paperweight looks like Joe Zimmerman. Are the lines on the bottom raised?

 I love his work. 1963 - 86.

there were many paperweight makers in the great lakes region and beyond. without signature or identifiable exact design it is hard to say. look up what 'bubble glass' design is, and the flower/colors, it is, and that should narrow some of it down. the plate looks like a Murano glass design 🙂

That is why I was asking if the 2 lines on the bottom are raised. If they are it could be a partial Zimmerman mark, a raised Z. 

As far as I can tell, the OP hasn't returned.

Here is a Zimmerman. This one weighs over 10 lbs.
