This is another one of my fine vintage Scottish Caithness Glass paperweights.
The title of "Congratulations" seems to have been a popular one for these weights - as this is the fourth one I have in my store.
However, this is an earlier one dating to 1981 and designed by Colin Terris. It comes from his Royal Wedding series. It is Style One. It was made to commemorate the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles & Lady Diana Spencer.
I really like this one - it is quite simple in design - but a very stylish and understated one. It has a very contemporary feel to it - despite being nearly 45 years old.
It is an abstract weight with a white ground made up of tiny air bubles which catch the light and on close up inspection look to have a silver twinkle. From this issue little filigrees of glass wisps in red, white and blue - they swirl upwards to nearly touch the top of the weight. All around the weight there is a mesh air bubble in the center and random larger bubbles.
It is signed with the issue details below. It is a very clean modernist design. It is in very good vintage condition. The height is 2 3/4 inches - and the diameter is 3 inches.
