CaithnessQuicksilver Paperweight A Caithness paperweight "Quicksilver" in an excellent condition. A very pretty blue paperweight, made and designed by Caithness, and etched on the underside "CAITHNESS" "QUICKSILVER" and " SCOTLAND", also it is hand inscribed " D41690 ". All Caithness glass first-quality paperweights are etched on the base with this marking and the name of the piece. The first Caithness paperweights were produced in 1969 in the North of Scotland using the traditional methods of millefiori and lampwork to create abstract shapes and bubbles. Inspired by the colors of the Scottish landscape, such as the foliage around water. In an excellent condition, no chips or cracks, a few light scratches to base, otherwise displays wonderfully. Measures approx 7.5cm(3") tall and about the same in diameter, weight of 0.610 kg unpacked. I combine postage for multiple auction wins whenever possible, depending on sizes, sometimes post can be up to 80% (or more) reduced on two of more items. Photo Gallery -
