Glass Paperweight
From Todays Post Bag:
I have two paperweights bought in 1970 they are both scolloped eight segments with different patterns inside I have not seen anything else like it can you tell me anything about them?
My Reply:
The shape of these paperweights is most unusual however the canes inside have a very “Cogged” appearance which is typical of paperweights made in Murano, Italy around the time you purchased these. They are quite collectable because of the unusual shape however I dont think they have any great value. If they were mine I would be selling them for around £25 each. I hope this helps

Happy to help as this one is easy it actually says C11G which is the Caithness Glass code for a seconds quality paperweight. These are ones which are not considered to be best quality and were sold off cheap.
I hope this helps
