Caithness Glass | Mini Ruby Heart Bowl Glass Paperweight: This unusual paperweight can be used as a catch all, and features a mix of blue inclusions and a heart shape. This design is created by melting large chunks of coloured glass into the surface where it is then covered in clear glass, shaped and spun out to create a dish shape. The dish is then heated, and one end is pulled out with tweezers whilst the other is indented to form the heart shape. This piece is designed by Sarah Peterson and handmade by skilled craftsmen in Crieff, Scotland - making each piece completely unique by slightly varying in detail. Never put glass ornaments or paperweights on window sills or in direct sunlight as they can focus light and create a fire hazard. All glass ornaments and should be handled carefully to prevent breakage. Each paperweight comes in a presentation box, and you can pair it with the Caithness LED light box to bring it life! (Width: 10.0cm) Who are Caithness Glass? Caithness Glass began in 1961 by Rob Sinclair. At first, they only made bowls, vasesand drinking glasses. It wasn't until Paul Ysart joined a year later that the glass paperweight became part of their repertoire. His unique designs added another layer to the Caithness brand, and when Colin Terris joined to head the new Design and Engraving studio in 1968, paperweight production took off, a Royal Warrant was acquired, and Caithness solidified itself as a world leader in the production of these gorgeous collectibles. With a growing team of artists and designers, Caithness has developed a worldwide following of dedicated collectors.
