Perthshire ???
« on: November 03, 2009, 07:33:03 PM »
The seller of this paperweight seems to think it's Perthshire.

Not one I've seen before!   And the same goes for most of the other weights he's also selling as 'Perthshire'.


Cheers

Hi all

Seller has 8 weights for sale - all listed as Perthshire.

I see 1 Perthshire  - not the weight tagged above, 1 murano crown, 5 chinese weights and the tagged weight which I cant identifiy but it certainly ain't Perthshire!

If it's a roundish lump of glass it must be Perthshire :P

I agree with Derek. One is from Perthshire Paperweights (Scotland), the other 7 from "Perthshire" (China, Murano, and GKW).
