Is this the Pukeberg factory? Also it looks clear but is lilac under electric light. Labelled Westerberg.

All my reference says that Uno Westerberg worked for Pukeberg.  Wayne has one of what looks like this series at the moment:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pukeberg-Swedish-Glass-Island-Paperweight-Labelled-/360577772734

I was not aware of any colour change, but it might be worth asking Wayne if the one he has, changes colour. I have seen three different desings in this series, including one very similar to yours, the one that Wayne has, and a bridge.

Hope that helps you Adam.

Thanks Rosie. I have a few clear glass Pukeberg Westerberg pieces. This is strange turning lilac almost neodymium. I see Wayne's and there are lots on eBay.

I only found Waynes on eBay at the moment,  even looking at International listings.... might need to go to a Scandi site to see others.

Your paperweight could be a different view??

Just added a bit more info above. I wondered if you were asking is the glass made by Pukeberg or the picture on it the factory? 

Yes the Google images show some sold pieces and also some repeats of Wayne's, but I agree it does make it look as though there are more.

It's all labelled with Pukeberg and Westeberg. I meant is it showing the factory, seems so.
