Title: help id paperweight bowl
Post by: millarart on July 21, 2017, 09:34:03 PM

cant make out signature cane properly , to start with it looked like a P and something else so thought maybe peter holmes but then it looks like an A too depending way you look at it so thought it might be allan scott also looked through both Perthshire paperweights books to see if I could find similar , the bowl has nice vertical faceting around the outside with lampwork flower

It looks like it could be a John Deacons J Glass piece - is that a J signature cane also the A cane for Allan Scott who was the lampworker at J Glass and put his signature cane in some of their weights. Here is a J Glass Rose weight with Allan's A cane to compare

thanks Dave yup its defo an Allan Scott bowl someone on other site posted pics of their Scott weight which like yours the lampwork was same or very similar to mines with exact same centre to flower, mines doesn't have a J cane so not sure if it would be j glass or just allans own work

I think definitely J Glass as the A cane matches others in J Weights, also Allan uses a different A cane nowadays but it was a nice find
