Breathtaking. These paperweights are stunning examples of what great artists can accomplish with their prodigious talents in a free, open, and creative society.

Although judging from photographs only, these paperweights are as brilliant and detailed and majestic as anything the French made in the 19th-century.

Messrs. Scott and McKay are to be commended and congratulated. They continue the glorious tradition of paperweight perfection. Based on the photographs, they have set new standards and surely no one can adjudge these two glassworkers as anything but truly great paperweight craftsmen.

It is no wonder that thousands of paperweight collectors around the world gather their money and hope for a chance to purchase such ideals.

Anyone who loves paperweights should be in awe.

And don't forget Martin Murray, who does the facetting!  Just look at the base cutting on the 'Butterfly Garland'!   :shock:   :D

Hi Allan,

once again, your weights are really fantastic. Please let me know, where can I buy them or if you sell them directly.
It also would be a pleasure for me to show them to my customers or put them on my website.

Many greetings
Nadine

After seeing Allen's paperweights, I have a new order to my wish list! I used to have Clichy in the number one position!!

These are magnificent!! By far, the prettiest ones I have seen!!

I have two Newfoundlands and I out-drooled them!  :D

LOL Liz  :lol:

Allan's weights look so much better in real life than they do in photos. I tried in a previous post to capture the beauty of "Paradise", and I feel it still doesn't come anywhere near close to the real thing.

Simone - your "Paradise" is breath-taking!!

I drooled quite a bit over that one, also! I seem to be drooling alot this week, so many beautiful paperweights being posted... I am in paperweight heaven! :D
