Topic: HELP! Made in Scotland Label Identification!

  Help!  I cannot seem to find the identity of this paperweight. Made in Scotland Label Attached.  Any help would be so much appreciated!

Hi Sue,

Are you sure this is a SBAG weight? I must admit I do not recognise the label but the canes and the general look of the weight do not look like Peter Holmes' work to me.

If I had to give an ID I would have gone John Deacons or William Manson, but I may be wrong of course.

It's got the SBAG logo, plonk, right in the middle of the label.
I can recognise the logo. 
I'm afraid most paperweights look pretty much the same to me, unless they've got some unusual lampwork inside.
I prefer to leave who made it, up to folk like yourself who do know how to distinguish the weight by looking at the glass itself. That is the best way. 

I went by the logo in the middle of the label, only.

Did they not all end up sharing studio space at some point in time?
I know John Deacons allowed Franco Toffolo to use his studio on Thursdays after he (FT) retired, for a while and that at one point in time Willie Manson had to resort to driving a taxi to make a living.
What a waste of such a great artist's time!

I had not added a comment for this one - and I kept forgetting to do so.

I think the Op (gcnscr) should use the link Sue provided for the Scottish Borders Art Glass site and ask about both the label and the weight.

I do not know which company made this weight and I do not recognise the canes. However, Perthshire Paperweights certainly made a 6-row concentric millefiori in the PP4 range for the years 1993/4. And the setting of the canes is of the precision that I tend to associate with Perthsihre Paperweights - and that is not the same as saying that I think other makers did not make top quality items. A point that gioes against the PP4 idea is that those weights from 93/4 were not faceted.

I will defiantly email the link. Thank you so much for the information everyone.

Hi.  This paperweight looks to me like a John Deacons piece from the J Glass era - the canes are very similar to the signed piece below.

Thanks Allan. I emailed The Link as suggested above but have not heard anything. I appreciate your help.
