I have had this paperweight for some time now and haven't managed to identify it.
Can anyone help, please?
Regards
John

Hi Gareth
Thanks for very quick reply.
The paperweight is approx 2 and 1/2 inches high and 2 and 1/2 inches in diameter.
The base has what can only be described as a clear glass peep hole pontil from which appear to radiate the colours which form the pattern in the dome.
I will attempt to upload a picture.
Regards
John

Having spent the weekend producing an update to my Strathearn catalogue with Richard More, I suppose I should answer this one... :lol:

It is a Strathearn P27 Aurora medium. The new catalogue is not yet live but can be previewed here ysartglass
