This is an attractive vintage paperweight made by John Deacons.
It is not signed but has a paper label on the base. This labels were used about 2000 - so this helps me to date this lovely weight by him.
The ground is a cerise pink colour - and on top of the ground Deacons has laid four long white latticino twist canes. In between these are lines of millefiori canes. There is a signature thistle cane used by Deacons.
It also is more unusual in that it has six polished faceted panels around the side - and a larger slightly concave viewing facet on the lid.
It measures: 2 3/4 inches in diameter and with a height of 1 3/4 inches. Unpacked it weights: 370 grams. It is in perfect condition with no damage of any kind.
It will be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
HISTORY: Deacons Glass is a family-run studio that is still situated in Crieff, Scotland. The town has a long history of art glass manufacturing starting over 50 years ago in 1964 with Strathearn Glass, followed by Perthshire paperweights in 1968, J Glass in 1978 and finally Deacons Glass in 1980. John started as an apprentice with Strathearn Glass in 1967 but within a year was asked by the manager Stuart Drysdale to join his Perthshire Paperweights start-up team. It was here that John gained a thorough grounding in all aspects of running a glass studio.
