Caithness Paperweights

Caithness Paperweights

AntiquesAvenue offers a good range of vintage Caithness glass paperweights:

Caithness Glass is based in Scotland, production began in the 1960s but very few paperweights were produced until the 1970s. I first encountered Caithness paperweights during shopping sprees with my Mother during the early 1970s and have been fascinated by them ever since. Most of the weights available at that time had a modern Space theme and these abstract shapes and bubbles were unlike anything I had ever seen before. Clearly many others agree and the popularity of Caithnees glass paperweights has grown so that they are one of the largest paperweight producers in the world.

Caithness glass Dragonfly paperweight 1975 C Terris
 Caithness glass Dragonfly paperweight 1975 C Terris
Before going any further I must say that this paperweight is a seconds with the CIIG mark on the base. I believe it to be Dragonfly designed in 1975 by Colin Terris . The perfect examples were in a limited edition of 1500. The dragon fly has green tips to his wings and a bubble for his body, he hovers over a mauve coloured pond with etched flower shapes around the outside of the base.

Approx Size: 3 inch diameter

Country of origin: UK

Condition:
Excellent clean condition. Looking carefully I can see 2 reasons why this was classified as a seconds 1) there is a mistake in the etching of the flowers around the edge ( see photo) 2) internally there is an extra piece of white glass in the pond at the base.
