AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very decorative paperweight called 'Caress', designed by David McGregor and manufactured in 1991 by Selkirk Glass, Scotland. High-quality collectible with signature.
Signed on the display surface: 'Selkirk Glass Scotland – Caress – 1991'. Selkirk sticker.
Well-crafted spherical paperweight. At the center, it features a large flattened air bubble, beneath which delicate swirls in shades of green rise from the base. The background is marbled in blue, green, and white, forming a jagged bulge at the edges. Beautiful color play and stunning optical effects—especially under suitable lighting conditions.
Dimensions (H x D): 6.5 × 7.3 cm, 466 g
Very good undamaged condition. As with any older glass object that has been used, slight signs of age and use may be present. These mainly include moderate sliding marks on the base.
Please carefully examine the photos in the large view before making your purchase decision.
Note:
Due to internet restrictions on color display and your monitor settings, the colors of the product photos may differ from the original you receive.
The stands, lighting accessories, and measuring accessories shown in the photos are not part of the offer!
Seller's Story
I have been a passionate collector of high-quality glass objects for several years.
The focus of my collection is on glass objects from Germany, Czechia (Bohemia), Italy (Murano), and Scandinavia, designed and produced in the 20th century. Another emphasis is on Scottish paperweights.
Since 2019, I have been offering my surplus objects on Catawiki. Maybe there's something interesting for you too!
Should an issue with your order occur as an exception, please let me know before leaving a negative review. Fair people always find a fair solution! Wishing you good luck with your bidding.
