Title: Identifications
Post by: SERENITY1010 on July 15, 2023, 09:45:38 PM

I have 4 paperweights I just got from my aunt so I can sell them online for her, she got them in an inherited estate so I'm not sure about them.
I know the red flower one is from China as it has a sticker on the bottom.
Please help me, I need to post them but have no idea what they are or if they are worth anything. Thank you for reading and any responses.
The brown bubbles one has a clear bottom
Flower is satin but like I said made in china sticker
The firework looking one has a satin bottom
The patterned one has a slight concave bottom

Second picture, the one on the right is Scottish, Perthshire maybe.  ;D

I am inclined to think the one Keith thinkis is actually a Strathearn.  This link may help   http://strathearn.smugmug.com/

I saw strathearns and thought it looked like that one but wasn't sure, I don't know if I should sell them as a bundle or individually, as they don't have markings

The Chinese rose is pretty and older but with little value. The firework one is also likely Chinese but it would be easier to tell from base shots. The other one would be better ID'd from a larger individual photo and base shots. The Strathearn is worth slightly more but still not very much. I wouldn't sell as a bundle a) because people don't want mixed glass unless there is something special they are hoping no-none has noticed and b) good packing is much harder for more than one item.

In the second picture, the one on the left is from Portugal, about 1970.  It would be better in the future if you post one paperweight at a time to avoid confusion in the responses.

Please start a new thread for your Caithness paperweight Dave (?) and also include a base shot, a top shot and dimensions
