Title: Strathearn Paperweight Identification
Post by: BFD222 on May 19, 2010, 10:23:23 AM

I am new to glass paperweights. I have purchased my first one. I belive it to be a Strathearn close packed millefiori Paperweight. Can anyone comfirm this from the pictures and give an idea of date? Thanks in advance.
