Paperweights have been made in Scotland since 1835 and are an important part of Scottish glass history. In this beautifully illustrated book, Scottish paperweights are displayed in nearly 400 full-color photographs together with a discussion of the major weight-makers and glass houses. The important Ysart family is thoroughly presented along with other makers: Holyrood Flint Glass Works, Vasart, Strathearn Ltd, Perthshire, Caithness, Edinburgh Crystal, Harland, John Deacons, Crieff, MacIntosh Glass, and William and Willie Manson. Fakes, copies, and reproductions are fully discussed. Prices are included in captions.
