AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful paperweight called 'Congratulations' (Style II), designed by Margot Thomson in 1993 and handcrafted by Caithness Glass, Scotland. A high-quality handcrafted collectible, titled and numbered on the base.
Spherical shape. The paperweight features a delicate, upward-folded object made of countless tiny air bubbles, resembling an upward-folded tablecloth. At the tips, there are four larger air bubbles, with four more at the base. In the upper area, you can see a very large air bubble with a network in pink tones. Very beautiful play of colors and attractive optical effects—especially under suitable lighting. A very decorative collectible piece!
Dimensions (H x D): 7.4 x 8.2 cm, 669 g
Very good age-appropriate condition without damage. As with any older glass object that has been used, slight signs of age and use can be found. 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.
