Extremely Rare Stunning Selkirk Lampwork Paperweight with a white concentric Latticino background two violet poinsettia with two additional buds. The Poinsettia have a number of vibrant green leaves behind the flowers. The polished base has a Selkirk label and some coding (TR18 4LB/6) etched into the rim (not sure what this means, it may be a personal identification number). At the centre of the base, where the Latticino meets centrally is a small clear circle, look through this circle towards the centre of the weight to find a small signature cane with the letters PH (Peter Holmes). This is one of the most attractive paperweights of it’s type that I have seen. The Latticino is magnificent, layered concentrically around the base of the paperweight it provides a beautiful backdrop to the lampwork flowers. The paperweight is in near perfect condition with no marks, chips or blemishes on the body and some tiny manufacturing creases to the base. Measurement from base to mid dome 8cm, circumference 24cm at widest point, 7cms tall.
