Hi Lenotschka,

The eBay listing is correct. Edinburgh Crystal did not make paperweights, but contracted them from Caithness Glass (and also from Murano for a short time). Some are signed as shown in the listing with "Edinburgh" to the base and some have an "E" to the centre of one of the canes.

However, it is still an Edinburgh Crystal paperweight "Ring of Roses" 1986 - who actually made it is intersting but it is not a Caithness weight as such. We do have some of the Murano sourced Edinburgh Crystal weights in the backlog for future inclusion. see here (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=305&Itemid=6)
