Caithness (Whitefriars) – “Primula” ltd edn.

Description

Lovely Caithness Glass weight made in 1990 and designed by Margot Thomson. Called “Primula”, this paperweight depicts two white primula flowers and one bud with leaves, and an outer garland of millefiori canes. Its attractiveness is immensely heightened by a golden amber translucent ground on which the primula sits, and the sympathetic faceting of 6 side windows and a large top window. It is a limited edition with only 143 actually being made. The weight is from the Whitefriars Collection and contains the hooded Friar cane at the base of the stem. Measures 75mm or just under 3ins diameter. ref 03793
