Paperweights With Names In

Lustrousstone:
More paperweights with the same characteristics as my Linda weight. These were apparently from a house clearance near Wigan, not so far from St Helens and Pilkington's. All except one have a snapped pontil mark. Linda and the yellow butterfly have ground bases. There were three virtually identical controlled bubble weights, but I don't think they are Chinese. The bubbles form a fair spiral and the glass has the same yellowish tinge as the other weights. They are rather naive but interesting.

The other weights that apparently came from the same chap were modern Chinese, a modern one that might have been from St Helens glass museum (badly damaged) and a limited edition Selkirk Ebony (that moved in too   ;D ).
