Need help identifying paperweight..
« on: November 19, 2009, 06:08:25 PM »
Hi,

any ideas who the maker is of this one. I thought it might be Strathearn but the pontil is completely smooth and polished, not indented.

It's about 2.1/2" high and the colours are quite subdued.

Thanks

Hi Rosie1

You were right first time - it is a Strathearn glass product. They sometimes polished the bases, particularly on these flat slab weights.
