Product description
Adorable container, perhaps a mini hyacinth vase, but I'm leaning more towards a paperweight that can also hold paper clips and other small items on a desk. Its shape is pretty and original, but it's above all the black and white ribbon (the white becomes a translucent blue trace on the other side) integrated into the blown crystal that makes it a remarkable object, elegant and beautifully crafted. And so it should be, since it's made at the famous Caithness glassworks in Scotland, an artisanal glassworks that has been supplying the English royal family since 1961. This glassworks specializes in paperweights and sulfides. The heavy, flared base makes it perfectly stable, ideal for a paperweight but also for holding a hyacinth bulb. This vase is discreetly stamped Caithness underneath (engraving) and still has its self-adhesive label which reads "Caithness crystal handmade english lead crystal". I can't date it with any certainty, but this collection is no longer offered in their catalog and some sources date this model (perhaps named tourbillon) from the 90s. It is in beautiful condition, with just a few micro-scratches under the base and a small, barely visible chip on the inner edge of the high rim. It measures 9.5 cm in diameter at the base, 6.5 cm in diameter at the neck, 6.5 cm in height and weighs approximately 450g.
It is in fine condition, with just a few micro-scratches under the base and a small, inconspicuous chip on the inner edge of the high rim.
