Topic: Scottish paperweight - which era please? #2 Blue

[josordoni]

I have recently bought a batch of paperweights which I am certain are all Scottish, from the Ysart/Strathearn stable. I would very much appreciate your help in correctly identifying the era that these were made in.

There are quite a few, so I beg your indulgence. All pictures are also hosted in my Scottish paperweights gallery on the Glass Queries Gallery.

First is this mainly blue one with a flattish, blue-grey dome


Many thanks

HI lynn

Strange one this  as the base looks Vasart with the rough grinding but you can also see the canes in the base view.

Will be interested to hear others view on this one

Best regards

Derek

Thanks Derek . always interesting to hear more than one view, though it looks like it is just you and me on these

My guess: Most likely Ysart Brothers period - but needs a shortwave uv check to confirm.

Thanks Kevin. I think I need to find a friendly tanning booth and ask them if I can pop the weights in there!
