Glass Message Board

  You'll have to find some niche corner for it to be on its own in. It is big enough to sit on the floor, in a safe position. I have put a large vase in the corner of the turn of the stairs.

Thanks for the ideas 🙂

I thought glass enthusiasts might appreciate seeing this vase which, as you can see from the wine bottle, is a bit of a statement piece. It measures 40 cms tall. Fully signed with logo and St Denis, Paris. 
It had a retailer's name in gold partially covering that but it was already fading and was easily wiped off to reveal the full St Denis acid etched mark.
Fortunately it survived the journey through the post.
The problem with large pieces like this is that they are not easy to display with other glass; they really have to sit on their own.

Hi Christine

Two very  nice Allan Scott weights! I have about 10 in my collection, most bought direct from Allan. I have sorted
out 2 of my weights that were SGS exhibits - but certainly not purchased at an SGS exhibition. Both are by
Rosette Fleming and are spaced 10 years apart  "Romance" in 1993 and "Ring of Roses" in 2003.
Its interesting to see how her design thoughts have advanced in that time. 

Allan Scott also sent me the layout of the 1995 SGS exhibition - attached - which you say was held at the
Strathearn Gallery in Crieff. So unless there was a last minute change of venue it was NOT held in Crieff
but at the Caithness factory in Perth.
   
Any weights sold at SGS exhibitions would have been put through the venues books but the proceeds would
then have been passed straight to the artist.

  I attended the 1995 SGS Exhibition, held in the Strathearn Gallery in Crieff.
Weights and the other exhibits were all for sale at the exhibition itself and went through the gallery owners. They could also be bought by contacting the gallery if somebody had been unable to attend, but had seen images. There was a bit of trouble in that somebody did buy an Allan Scott weight, but it got accidentally sent to the wrong address and there was a great deal of hassle and trouble in persuading the person who had got hold of it to let it go.
I have photographs I took at the show, including some by Allan Scott.
There was another big disaster at that Exhibition too. A shelf in the window came down, badly injuring Owen Maguire and the exhibits broken. All in all a very eventful one.
I'll see what I can sort out for showing. Pics of 3 Allan Scotts
Amenthyst Blue and Neptune are shown here.
