Adrian Sankey Paperweights
« on: August 16, 2010, 01:03:42 PM »
I've just bought an apple shaped paperweight from a carboot sale designed by Adrian Sankey (labelled).

Are these paperwights collectable??

That depends on what you mean by "collectable".

There are definitely paperweight collectors who have examples of Adrian Sankey's weights in their collection, so yes, they are "collectable".

But if you mean are they "collectable" in the same way that antique French weights are ... well, probaly not. At least not yet!
