VERY RARE WHITEFRIARS PS200 FISH SILHOUETTE MILLEFIORI PAPERWEIGHT 1976:
$549.38


This beautiful millefiori paperweight, featuring a fish design, is one of a series of 12 ‘Silhouette’ weights issued in very limited numbers by Whitefriars in the 1970s. It is also one of four similarly designed and equally rare paperweights within this group. Please see my other listings as I have also listed separately a Whitefriars millefiori Owl paperweight in this series. Serious collectors will recognise these weights.This stunning faceted weight has a concave flanged base. The round top of the weight is flat and there are 5 round concave ‘windows’ located in the sides. The date “1976” is contained within the blue Whitefriars ‘Monk’ cane just below the fish image. The ‘Monk’ cane can also be clearly seen and read in the fascia of the base.This is simply one of the most beautiful of the Whitefriars weights. The fish itself is made of minute canes with a white outline on a bed of exquisite small canes meticulously placed in a display of subtle colours and shades very characteristic of the best designs of Whitefriars.The paperweight is 5cms (2”) tall. Its round top face measures 4.5cms (1¾”) in diameter. The five round ‘windows’ are about 4cms (1½”) in diameter. It measures 7.5cm (or about 3”) across the base. It weighs 532 gms before packing.ConditionThe paperweight is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or polishing. PostagePostal charges are based on the weight of the paperweight fully packed. I always, as a matter of policy, use a ‘signed for’ and ‘tracked’ postal option and insure for the full value. These heavy glass pieces require good packaging and plenty of it. I pack most carefully in tough new packaging for which I make no charge. Please note that I have successfully sent fragile items all over the world for many years. I have also learned that with fragile items, it is safer and more prudent to pack in a comparatively large box.I aim to keep the postage as low as possible, commensurate with the demands of safety and security and I always return any postage inadvertently overcharged, as will be clear from my response. I am happy to accept Paypal and will accept personal cheques, but because of the expense, complexities and delays in the UK in the processing of foreign currency cheques I have reluctantly had to stipulate ‘Sterling only’ for these. Very sorry!Please feel free to ask any questions.
