Original paper label","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of a selection of vintage Scottish paperweights which I am listing in my shop - all with very fair prices attached to them.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one was made by Selkirk Glass in the Scottish Borders. It has an early Selkirk glass label on the base. It has an etched inscription as photographed - and is etched with the date 1980. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelkirk Glass was set up by Peter Holmes and Ron Hutchison in 1977. Peter Holmes left in 2002. The company sadly closed in 2006 - so these beautiful weights are no longer being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1980 weight is an early one - made a couple of years after the company was founded. It is a very pretty weight - with a floor or cushion of sugar pink and white. The colours look gritty and textured. From the centre are a series of little fine fingers arranged in a wee swirl. There is a clear faceted viewing panel on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a height of 2 3\/8 inches and a diameter of 2 3\/4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is in good vintage condition with no chips or cracks (there is a very fine and faint scratch just over 1 mm in length to the side - you can hardly see it and need to get real close up to even spot it, but mentioned for full accuracy). My price takes into account the very early issue of this fine Scottish weight, and the tiny blemish noted above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt will be sent with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel) post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31617415839808,"sku":"Drawer 2 Middle Drawer","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1980s-selkirk-glass-paperweight-etched-inscription-and-date-on-the-base-original-paper-label-845.webp?v=1784974567","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/selkirk-glass-1980s-scottish-paperweight-inscribed-dated","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
