It was designed by the glass maestro at Caithness Glass, Colin Terris (1937 - 2006).  This one is called ARTIC NIGHT and it is an earlier weight that Terris designed for Caithness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis early weight tries to capture the stillness and cold of the frozen Artic Landscape. There is a black mass in the centre of the weight  covered on the top with sprinkles of white and blue glass to look like the snow. There is a large air bubble in the centre and this is surrounded with two concentric rings of controlled air bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior of the weight is a slightly satin finish with a polished viewing facet to the front. \u003cspan\u003eThis finish was achieved by finely sandblasting the surface of the paperweight, and then immersing it in a mixture of sulphuric and hydrofluoric acid - as you can imagine this was a highly dangerous process!!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe polished base is engraved 'Caithness, Artic Night, Scotland'.
