SELKIRK GLASS....
Peter Holmes was one of Caithness Glass's original designers. He and Ron Hutchison established Selkirk in 1977 and built up an international reputation amongst discerning collectors for its timeless miracles in glass.

Through his own inventiveness, imagination and ability, the abstract paperweight as we know it today was first created by Peter Holmes in 1965. He continued to develop and master the skills required to craft the superb pieces which are the hallmark of Selkirk Glass. He trained a small, enthusiastic team of like-minded artists and their paperweights are displayed in many museums around the world.
Sadly Selkirk Glass is no longer in existence.

*******************************­*********************

This is a stunning Limited Edition paperweight called "Everglades" and is number 90 of 500. Certificate and box included.

With a mottled golden base coated with a silver sheen, three green tendrils arise to support a huge silvery bubble at the centre. Smaller silvery bubbles dot the upper levels of the paperweight.

This paperweight is etched on the base: "Selkirk Glass Scotland, Everglades, 90/500" and it bears the gold and black Selkirk label. Height 8cm, width 8.5cm, weight 955g.

This is item is in excellent condition with no chips or bruises. There is a tiny 2mm shall scrath on one side which in no way detracts from it's viewing.

Prices of Selkirk have skyrocketed since the closure of the glassworks and pieces such as this are an excellent investment as well as being a pleasure to behold.

Good luck bidding.
