This is another most attractive vintage paperweight made by John Deacons.
It is a paper label on the base. It has been very easy to date this one - as it all has an oblong cane on the base which reads JD 2011 with a wee Saltire on each side. It also has its original paper label on the base.
The paperweight is a nice ball shape - with lacework latticino strands of white, peach and pink glass - these run from the centre of the back and end at the top. The canes meet at the top and are covered with a large Deacon's pale pink rose cane (surrounded by a green sectional band). It is a more unusual paperweight by him and I cannot find another identical to it - perhaps it is a prototype design. It reminds me a little of a sea urchin.
It is in pristine condition with no condition issues.
The paperweight measures 2 3/4 inches in diameter and with a height of 2 1/4 inches. Unpacked it weighs: 410 grams. It is in perfect condition with no damage of any kind.
It will be sent with Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery post. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
HISTORY: Deacons Glass is a family-run studio that is still situated in Crieff, Scotland. The town has a long history of art glass manufacturing starting over 50 years ago in 1964 with Strathearn Glass, followed by Perthshire paperweights in 1968, J Glass in 1978 and finally Deacons Glass in 1980. John started as an apprentice with Strathearn Glass in 1967 but within a year was asked by the manager Stuart Drysdale to join his Perthshire Paperweights start-up team. It was here that John gained a thorough grounding in all aspects of running a glass studio.
