Topic: Whitefriars Paperweight Info- THANKS!!!

[gottahaveglass]

Hello Everyone! 
We recently purchased this Whitefriars weight and have scoured the internet for more info on it but found nothing! This design looks like a Colin Terris as it is very similiar to a cut Butterfly II weight he did in 1982. Any ideas? Also, is the cane date 1986 or 1989? It is a limited edition paperweight (17/200); an ideas as to the value? It is signed "Whitefriars   Butterfly for the Mole Hole   Scotland". Our many thanks to you!  Happy collecting! :thup:

Hi Lenore.
             This will have been made by caithness as i am almost sure they bought the paper weight arm from whitefriars before they closed or as they closed, i will have to read though my MOL book, and find out, but the date is 1986, take a look at this, seems to be a cut one with the same pattern, http://tinyurl.com/56gc3t you could always take a look here too, might help, http://www.whitefriars.com/ under the paper weight section

If i find any thing in the MOL book i will report back.
                                                                    good luck Sg

Well Whitefriars closed in 1981 so anything later is Caithness .
