Glass paperweight identification markes S71
« on: April 09, 2015, 07:39:35 AM »
Hi fellow forum members,

I have a glass paperweight in my collection of which I have trouble identifying the maker. It is a nicely detailed piece (though hard to get all the details right on the foto's), and by the look of the glass, it makes me think it is a 19th century example. It is marked with a S cane and a cane marked 71. It has a nice amount of wear on the bottom.
Any advise is welcome. Thanks in advance,

Kasper

Hi everybody,

Found it. It is a 1971 Strathearn paperweight. Strange I hadn't found it before.
Kind regards,

Kasper

Hi. Richard More's site has a wealth of information on Strathearn paperweights and their date / signature canes.

Hi,

Good colours on your nice example of a Strathearn P10. Normally, these are quite pale coloured.
