Title: Isle of Wight Paperweight
Post by: robbo on May 28, 2006, 08:14:25 PM

Hi,
I wondered if anybody had any information on this IoW paperweight. Browns and aubergines, with twisted trails embedded in the surface. The inside is completely clear. I have looked on the IoW website and it doesn't appear to be part of current production.

Whole thing (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10019/iow_pw.jpg)
Base and label (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10019/iow_label.jpg)

Many thanks,
robbo

Hi robbo

The paperweight is from the Gemstone collection and the colourway of that collection was known as 'Topaz' dated  1995 - 1998.
