This is a lovely vintage Scottish paperweight.

It is made by Vasart Glass and dates to around the 1950s.

It is a nice size for display - being just over 2 inches in height and with a diameter at the widest point of about 2/4 inches.

The ground is an attractive dark burnt orange or dusky red colour. This is confined to the center of the parperweight base.

It has a total of nine latticino spokes. This weight has a larger and much more pronounced central rosette - it consists of very brightly coloured millefiori canes - the central ring is dark orange and yellow - and the outer rosette ring is a bright Royal Blue and then lemon yellow.

The fine latticino twist spokes issue from the rosette and are white and red colour. There are millefiori canes in each section between the wee spokes - these are mainly white and a vivid tangerine colour.

The dome has more of a grey tinge to the glass - and not as clear in tone as you would find in later Scottish weights. The dome has a few wee air bubbles in it.

It is in good condition with no chips or cracks - a very attractive Scottish paperweight.
