Title: Lovely paperweight - but who made it? ID = Strathearn P27 (pics gone)
Post by: rbm6167 on February 28, 2005, 08:49:56 AM

I have had this paperweight for some time now and haven't managed to identify it.
Can anyone help, please?

Hi Gareth
Thanks for very quick reply.
The paperweight is approx 2 and 1/2 inches high and 2 and 1/2 inches in diameter.
The base has what can only be described as a clear glass peep hole pontil from which appear to radiate the colours which form the pattern in the dome.
I will attempt to upload a picture.
Regards
John

Having spent the weekend producing an update to my Strathearn catalogue with Richard More, I suppose I should answer this one... :lol:

It is a Strathearn P27 Aurora medium. The new catalogue is not yet live but can be previewed here ysartglass (http://www.voloeditions.com/Strathearn/StrpwP026.htm)
