Limited Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a fine vitnage Scottish paperweight, designed by the glass maestro, Colin Terris for Caithness Glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a bit of a tour-de-force; and probably as such a weight for the more specialist collection. The paperweight is called Blossom - and the design concentrates on a large pink rosebud in the center of the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight is no. 25 from a very small edition of only 75 weights - and it was fully subscribed on the issue. On its issue, this lovely weight was priced at £175 - so, of course, my asking price is a very fair one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight is spherical with a large sliced facet \"window\" surrounded by a halo of slice cut facets - phew! I can count 20 of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base colour is rich, dark aqua green - which is sprinkled with white granules on the top of it. The little pink rosebud issues from the center - and is flanked by three leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe facets produce such a strange optical effect with this weight - almost like \"magic mirrors\" at a funfair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the reverse of the weight, the facets rise from the base and upwards like fingers - sadly there are a couple of the most tiny of fleabites to the edges - you really have to look for them in close up - you can't really see them with your weight on display - but only if you run your finger over them carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe little blemishes to the facets on the rear as reflected in my reduced price for this fabulous weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a nice large one - being 3 inches in diameter and 2 3\/4 inches in height. Weight: 578 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel) service. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31616900595776,"sku":"Drawer 3 Bottom Drawer","price":165.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1994-caithness-paperweight-blossom-by-colin-terris-limited-edition-656.webp?v=1784983746","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1994-limited-edition-caithness-paperweight-by-colin-terris-blossom","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
