Topic: Isle of Wight Paperweight

[adam20]

Isle of Wight paperweight with gold iridescence on dark ground, has remains of a modern label to base - can't seem to find range name although I have had these before and know it is not uncommen.

I can't make out the colour, or if there's a foil background at the bottom or not.
If there is no foil at the base, then I'm pertty sure it's Summer Fruits.
What berry will depend on the colour.

Not really helping too much colourwise, I'm afraid, but it is Summer Fruits.
What colour does it look to you?

[adam20]

It's a deep blue almost violet core.

Mulberry, then.
Summer Fruits was introduced in '93, Michael Harris died in '94, throwing the studio into turmoil for a year or so, with no new designs coming out, or Summer Fruits made. In '95 the range was reintroduced, a couple of unpopular colourways were stopped (honeyberry and goldberry) and a deep purple (blackberry) and a deep blue (Mulberry) were added. Blueberry is pale blue.
