Topic: Guernsey, gold & silver leaf paperweight

But a very pertinent question and one for which we now do have a definitive answer.

Glad that is sorted , thanks all. Ross, I thought you were talking about the paperweight being the same, not the company ! Thanks for posting your pics !

I actually like the red paperweight a little better than my black version and I do like mine a lot.

And I really like them both.     
but they're paperweights!

I like them far better than any other pwts I've seen from any Harris related company.
(and yes, that includes some incredibly expensive contemporary ones)

I want one!

Not letting you near my JH's any more...

[chopin-liszt]

Your JHs are a completely different sort of style. Pretty and delicate, with controlled use of enamels.
Which isn't my sort of thing really.
I like the lumpiness and hot, fluid work of these, with the strong colours.

I'm just cheaper to please than you are.

I didn't know Guernsey did 'Azurene'  until I found this  . Looks a bit like the home made faggots in the butcher's window up the road ! I do like the plumb colour  though and yours looks yummy too Ross . I'll keep it out of the kitchen

"home made faggots"... 
What on earth are those? It conjures up images of rainbow-knitted persons.
I didn't know it was a word we are even allowed to use...

 lol ! 

They are a bit like small Haggis but moister and more tasty

what?
They have short legs on one side, and long legs on the other, and you chase them around hills the wrong way for their legs, to make them fall over so you can catch them?
