AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spectacular paperweight called 'Sword Dance', designed by Alastair MacIntosh in 1991 and handcrafted in limited edition by Caithness Glass, Scotland. High-quality collector's item with signature.

Hand-signed at the stand area

Caithness Scotland - 199/750 - Sword Dance

Sphere shape with a tilted viewing window.. The paperweight displays a larger balloon-shaped air bubble, surrounded by four other air bubbles arranged in a square. In between, several textured red ribbons of varying widths can be seen. The background of the paperweight is colored in aubergine tones. A beautiful play of colors and optical effects — especially under suitable lighting.

Dimensions (H x D): 7.8 x 8.0 cm, 672 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.
