This is a lovely vintage Scottish paperweight - it takes the form of a wee sea urchin.
The paperweight has a central dark jade coloured core - and this is surrounded with a halo of vertical stripes that are made of us clusters of controlled air bubbles that surround little inclusions of sand grains.
The weight is a P3 size (smallest of three in the series) and was made at Strathearn Glass, Crieff in Perthshire.
They were made in four colours; red, green, orange, blue and white.
My weight is in perfect condition with no damages.
Dimensions: height is 2 1/2 inches. The diameter is 2 3/4 inches.
Listed at a fair price for this pretty Scottish weight - great item for a window ledge on a bathroom of a seaside cottage.
