PERTHSHIRE 1969 Scattered Millefior Lace Paperweight

Description: Offered for purchase: Early PERTHSHIRE domed paperweight with scattered colorful & variety of complex millefiori canes among (set in) a white lalttcinio (lace) ground. A cane bearing the factory signature "P" and 1969 date is set among the motif. A medium size paperweight and absolutely elegant! Bottom sign signature: NO. Few very light scratches that you can see with your eye when turned into the light "just right" but cannot feel with your fingernail.Revision: Added to listing 08/30/24: I have inspected this paperweight again. I do not believe the "scratches" on the bottom are scratches at all; but, possibly how manufactured. However, there is one tiny scratch or impact? at the bottom edge of the dome that is VERY inconspicious (spelling?) but, can be felt with your finger nail. I am very near sighted so my close up vision is really GOOD and very difficult to "see" but, as I said, you can locate it with your finger nail. This is not a distraction from the BEAUTY of this weight!Note on the pics: I have attempted to capture the essence and the semblance of what your eye may actually see.Condition: appears as new with no notable wear, no cracks, no chips, no deep scratches (except as noted above). Please see pics as part of condition/description. [ Note: White areas or hazy glare in some pics is the lighting and please try to disregard; the color of this paperweight is vibrant and colorful and GORGOUSS.]Provenance: My parents collected paperweights in the late 60s and early 70s and the 80s. As a kid and young adult these were proudly displayed in their home. Many have now been passed down to myself and it is time to find them a new home where they are cared for and appreciated. Many were purchased at establishments such as Stix-Baer-Fuller (Memphis, TN), Brodnax (Memphis, TN), and Peacocks (Chicago, IL). All of these provided fine retail shopping and each with a long history. This particular paperweight was purchased from Leo Kaplan in February of 1970.Shipping: Will be well packaged and sent Priority mail with tracking and insurance.
