Title: Is this a Dartington Paperweight?
Post by: seanduxbury on August 17, 2014, 11:28:06 AM

Hi All

Found this paperweight in a charity shop recently but as there are no marks or labels etc and my knowledge of paperweights is scant to say the least I hope someone may be able to identify this for me.

From the research I've done so far (mainly web based) the style of it does look like some Dartington paperweighs I've come across but I've not found anything with this particular design.

It measures 12 cms tall x 9 cms wide x 3 cms deep and weighs 600 gms.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Yes it's a Dartington piece, but a Heron not a stork, if you do a Google image search for Dartington Crystal Heron you'll find there are some with a sticker on.
