This is a fine example of the PP10 medium millefiori general edition weight by Perthshire Paperweights of Creiff Scotland. General edition Perthshire weights are not dated, but the PP10 was only made from 1969 to 1973. All PP10s have five cane clusters surrounding a central cluster on a translucent colored ground with a flat polished star cut base. In this particular weight the outer clusters consist of six pale pink pastry mold canes with white tubular centers surrounding a central pale blue pastry mold cane with a pale blue center. The center cluster consists of seven pale green cog canes with white cross centers surrounding a central pale blue pastry mold cane with a darker blue center. The translucent ground is brilliant emerald in color. The weight is 2.45″ in diameter and 1.9″ tall. Other than a small scratch to the base that can be seen in the star cut image, the weight is in perfect condition. NOTE: For some reason, Chrome is rendering the images in a very subdued palette. The emerald green looks more olive green in Chrome. Perthshire was founded in 1968 by Stuart Drysdale, then General Manager of Strathearn Glass. His intent was to produce high quality paperweights in the classic French Style. Perthshire Paperweights did just that until the factory closed in 2002.
