Title: help requested for maker of this old millefiori paperweight.
Post by: kmax70 on August 20, 2010, 02:36:51 PM

I have just bought this to add to my collection.  Unfortunately the seller didn't seem to know much about it.   I was attracted by its subdued pastel colours.   I have been all over it with my magnifier but cannot find any signature canes.   I would really appreciate any help with id.   It is  approx. 2.5 in (6.5 cm) in diameter by 2 in (5 cm) high.

It looks like an early Perthshire (PP2 design) to me.

Thanks - it hadn't travelled far then! - I bought it near Doune, near Stirling.   I'll have a look at some more early Perthshire ones and see if I can match up the colours and style.   KathleenM.
