Title: Help wanted to ID four spoke paperweight please
Post by: mbdouglas on February 19, 2015, 09:31:25 PM

Does anyone know the maker of this paperweight? It measures a bit more than 3" in diameter, has an orange ground, and lots of tiny bubbles in the clear glass, hovering above the canes. The pontil has been ground and looks partly matt with a rough bit in the centre.

Scottish - Probably Vasart Ltd (1956-1964) but could be from the first few years shortly after the company became Strathearn Glass in 1964.
