Limited Edition of 75","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is certainly a fine and very interesting Scottish paperweight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was made by the paperweight artist, Helen MacDonald. It is entitled Baptism and is part of the Helen MacDonald's Biblical Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt from a very small limited of only 75 weights (fully subscribed) and on its release it had a price ticket of £225. This one No. 26 out of the 75 issued as inscribed on the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a very intricate design and would have taken great skill to have made this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight is a ball shape - with a flat faceted viewing window to the front - on the back is a deeply engraved star shape - which shows as a dramatic pattern when viewed through the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, there is a little miniature scene showing a baptism - a man, a simple abstracted figure, is showing in a loose robe with his hands raised in blessing. He stands in a river - at his feet is another abstract figure of a man who is dressed in white and is kneeling in the waters. A white dove of peace flies above the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base colour is a bright blue shade to represent the water of the river.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously with such a small edition number - this is a much harder weight to source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks. There is one has a very fine scratch on the base - possibly done in the making? but no other issue. This is not visible on display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: Height is 3 inches - and at the widest point it is 3 1\/4 inches. Unpacked it weights: 700 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31617166704704,"sku":"Sold here for £145","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1995-caithness-glass-paperweight-baptism-by-helen-macdonald-limited-edition-of-75-166.webp?v=1784977387","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/caithness-glass-limited-edition-paperweight-baptism-by-helen-macdonald","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
