Signed","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful paperweight was made by Selkirk Glass in the Scottish Borders. It is an early weight and has an etched inscription on the base and dated 1981 - so not long after the company was founded. Although not signed by Peter Holmes - it is very typical of his work at this time.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelkirk Glass was set up by Peter Holmes and Ron Hutchison in 1977. Peter Holmes left in 2002. The company sadly closed in 2006 - so these beautiful weights are no longer being made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a height of 2 inches and a diameter of 2 3\/4 inches. The weight unpacked is 360 grams. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a very pretty little weight - with a single lampwork flower (Clematis) in the center - the flowerhead is a daisy type with purple petals - and it is surrounded by a halo or green leaves on a stem with two green leaves at the bottom. The ground colour is a semi-translucent plum colour. it has lots of little random pinprick size air bubbles in the ground - which look a little crystalized when it is photographed. Surrounding the central flower to the edge is a decorative ring of tiny millefiori canes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. The plum ground seems to slope slightly - so it perhaps should not be considered as a perfectly made specimen - but it is made by a glass maestro and is highly collectible now.  It displays well in your collection - and has been priced at a low price to these little issues in the making into consideration. Please look at all my photographs to check the condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel) Delivery and will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39424073236544,"sku":"West Castle Garage Metal Cabinet","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1980s-selkirk-scottish-paperweight-lampwork-clementis-flower-with-millefiori-ring-signed-295.webp?v=1784971328","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1980s-selkirk-scottish-paperweight-lampwork-clementis-flower-millefiori-ring-etched-signed","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
