Beautiful millefiori art glass paperweight made by Perthshire Paperweights in Crieff, Scotland. This particular paperweight is large-sized and measures about 3 in diameter. It’s dome-shaped with a hollow ground base. The design features a beautiful maroon red background. It has a central cane with a “P” inside surrounded by 2 concentric rings of canes. The backround is divided into sections separated by 14 radial twists with canes in an unusual 1-1-1-2-2 pattern. I believe this to be a PP1 paperweight made between 1978 and 1981, based on information on page 77 in the book. The Complete Guide to Perthshire Paperweights. By Mahoney & McClanahan. It’s guaranteed to be an authentic Perthshire paperweight and not a cheap imitation. Condition of this vintage Perthshire paperweight is EXCELLENT. I did notice a thin, internal raised arch over the center rings of canes that I can’t explain (see photo). It’s only visible from certain angles. I don’t see any noticeable scratches or nicks. Overall, this Perthshire paperweight looks fantastic and displays beautifully. It would make a fine addition to any collection. Please take a close look at the many photos I’ve provided and judge condition for yourself. This unusual 1-1-1-2-2 PP1 design appears to be quite rare. See my other listings. For more great items!
