AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very beautiful abstract paperweight called 'Goldrush', designed in 1998 by Philip Chaplain and manufactured by Caithness Glass. High-quality handcrafted collectible with manufacturer’s marking.

Labeled and numbered on the stand surface.

Spherical. The paperweight features an abstract green formation covered with bands of gold aventurine. From the formation emerge several larger, balloon-shaped air bubbles. Near the surface, a regular pattern of controlled air bubbles (bullicante) can be seen. Wonderful play of colors and beautiful optical effects—especially under suitable lighting conditions.

Dimensions (H x D): 2.99 x 3.11 inches, 671 g

Very good, undamaged condition. As with any older glass object that has been in use, slight signs of age and use may be found. These include, in particular, 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.
