Entitled \"Holly Wreath\" by Colin Terris \/ William Manson","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a pretty vintage 1970s paperweight by Caithness Glass.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is marked on the base: Caithness Glass and the issue number 212 \/ 500.  It comes from an edition of 500 weights - but the edition closed at 495.  It had an original retail price over 45 years ago of £125. It is catalogued as CT-145.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a date cane on the base: 79 and the original label sticker as well.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is another stunning Colin Terris weight. It seems that it was designed by Colin Terris and made by William Manson (when he worked at Caithness Glass).   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a Christmas or winter theme. The base colour is a dark black shade. On top of the base ground is a single rim of white millefiori canes, that look a little like linked snowflakes. In the centre is a wreath of emerald green holy leaves with a few red berries on the tip. There is a little old gold coloured bow at the bottom of the wreath. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the side of the weight, there are five circular polished oval facets and on the top of the weight, there is a concave viewing facet. The cutting of the facets seems to create an optical illusion that there is more than one millefiori ring on the weight (as photographed)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base is polished. It is not signed as being by Colin Terris or Manson. This is not an unusual occurrence, as many of his weights made at Caithness often devoid of the artist's signature.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a fabulous weight - and looks amazing on display. It is listed at a fair price. This takes into account the complicated design, its excellent condition with no damage of any kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:  The diameter is 3 inches. The height is 2 1\/2 inches. The weight unpacked is 650 grams. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paperweight will be sent to you with Royal Mail Tracked. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40197478973504,"sku":"Code 216B West Castle","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/vintage-large-limited-edition-1979-caithness-glass-paperweight-entitled-holly-wreath-by-colin-terris-william-manson-977.webp?v=1781580989","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/vintage-1979-caithness-glass-paperweight-holly-wreath-colin-terris-william-manson","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
