This is a lovely vintage Scottish paperweight.
It is made by Vasart Glass and dates to around the 1950s.
It is a nice size for display - being just over 2 inches in height and with a diameter at the widest point of about 2/4 inches.
The ground is an attractive very dark brown or black colour.
It has a total of nine latticino spokes. This weight has pretty central rosette - the central ring is blue and white striped canes - and the outer rosette ring is a lilac and purple shade.
The fine latticino twist spokes issue from the rosette are a simple red colour. There are millefiori canes in each section between the wee spokes - these are mainly white and blue, bright orange and grey colours.
The dome has more of a grey tinge to the glass - and not as clear in tone as you would find in later Scottish weights.
It is in good condition with no chips or cracks - a very attractive Scottish paperweight.
