This is an attractive vintage paperweight made by John Deacons.
It is not signed but has a paper label on the base. This labels were used about 2000 - so this helps me to date this lovely weight by him.
The ground is a cerise pink colour - and on top of the ground Deacons has laid four long white latticino twist canes. In between these are lines of millefiori canes. There is a signature thistle cane used by Deacons.
It also is more unusual in that it has six polished faceted panels around the side - and a larger slightly concave viewing facet on the lid.
It measures: 2 3/4 inches in diameter and with a height of 1 3/4 inches. Unpacked it weights: 370 grams. It is in perfect condition with no damage of any kind.
It will cost £5.50 with Royal Mail Recorded post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
HISTORY: Deacons Glass is a family-run studio that is still situated in Crieff, Scotland. The town has a long history of art glass manufacturing starting over 50 years ago in 1964 with Strathearn Glass, followed by Perthshire paperweights in 1968, J Glass in 1978 and finally Deacons Glass in 1980. John started as an apprentice with Strathearn Glass in 1967 but within a year was asked by the manager Stuart Drysdale to join his Perthshire Paperweights start-up team. It was here that John gained a thorough grounding in all aspects of running a glass studio.
