Blue Floral Fountain, 1980 A flower in full bloom frozen for eternity within a crystal dome-Blue Floral Fountain was one of the first paperweights in my collection. Rona Murray, Collectors Club Secretary |
|
Pagoda, 1984 For me, Pagoda captures the mystical charm of the Middle East. Matt Young, Technical Director |
|
Labyrinth, 1985 This paperweight reminds me of a fascinating visit to Knossos on Crete. I might there have walked where Theseus and Ariadne inspired the legend of the Labyrinth. John Calder, Paperweight Production Director |
|
Mystique, 1979 This paperweight embodies the delicacies and intriguing subtleties of this beautiful art form. Alisdair Fleming, Director/Secretary |
|
Elegance, 1981 The aptly named Elegance is one of my favourites, employing a technique of colour overlapping to produce the attractive combination of an abstract design with a traditional subject. Alistair Mair, Managing Director |
|
Honesty, 1983 A respect for the simplicity and elegance of good design married so successfully to the skills of the glassmaker makes Honesty a favourite with the studio. Davis Design Studios |
|
Black & Gold Perfume Bottle and Paperweight Set, 1980 I was inspired to design this set when oil was first being extracted from the North Sea, hence 'Black' represents the oil, and 'Gold' the revenue. James MacBeath, Production Manager, Glassware |
|
Intruder, 1977 One of my favourite paperweights, Intruder calls to mind a salesman's life; often lonely but with a bright glittering appeal, typified by the base of the weight. Peter Ford, Sales Director |
|
|
Octet, 1979 I see a touch of the traditional in this contemporary paperweight which, with the stark contrast of colours, makes it my favourite. Denis Crowe, Manager, Oban Glass. |
Aquarelle, 1985 I like Aquarelle because of its modern sophisticated look and the 'softness' created by the unusual surface finish. Stanley McNab, Production Manager, Perth |
