Customised Perthshire oddity/curiousity?

(1/3) > >>

Glassheart:
Dear all,
I stumbled across this curiosity at a bric & brac shop the other day.  Being a Perthshire fan,  I recognised the canes.  However,  if I’m not mistaken this is a customised weight which has been converted I think to a candleholder/ornament.  Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this started life as a pp52 Inkwell and maybe due to damage,  it’s had its neck and top sawn off and then smoothed over and made into a candleholder ornament.  What’s interesting is that it has Xmas canes,  you can see Santa,  Xmas tree, a sleigh and an odd looking face which I think is a snowman,  as it works well as a Xmas ornament!

I’ve never seen anything like it,  but cannot find it online anywhere which is why I think it’s been modified at some stage.  Would you all agree?

Glassheart:
Unfortunately I can’t seem to upload any more pics… due to the size restriction.  I thought you could post more per post?

Glassheart:
This one works…

Glassheart:
Last pics (I figured the issue)

Looks like a Perthshire "Marble" - which (despite the name) has a flattened base. See page 155 of the "Complete Guide ..."
