Title: Iridescent paperweight. Any ideas on the maker?
Post by: marvellousmel on December 02, 2009, 04:23:04 PM

Hi everyone.

I'm still new to all this, so please let me know if i've done anything wrong  :-[

Could anyone give me any ideas on the maker of this paperweight.  It is made of glass and the main colour (background) is blackish/brown with the most beautiful blue decorating the weight and has an iridescent appearance to it.  It is 5cm in diameter and unfortunately has no markings to the base :(

Thanks

Mel

Midsummer Glass might be an option, particularly if you are in the UK

Thanks Lustrousstone

I am in the UK (Sheffield).  I hope you don't mind me asking, but what is Midsummer Glass?  Is it the name of a company?  If I do a simple Yahoo search it doesn't seem to come up with a great deal.

Thanks 

Mel
