Please help ID this heavy glass ?Caithness?
« on: November 22, 2015, 09:49:28 PM »
Evening all,

I have come across this really interesting piece.

It measures 12" high and 3.25" wide (widest point), 0.5" wide (smallest point) and approx 2.25" deep.

It weighs just over 3kg!! I thought there was dirt on it but is actually part of the design of the glass.

Thanks,

Rach

Dear Rachna,

I believe it to be a Sarah Peterson paperweight for Caithness....similar attached.

Designed for Dartington by Sarah Peterson but manufactured for them in China. Sold as part of Dartington Innovate range. See: https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,72668.msg404211.html
