On offer is a very large, limited edition Caithness Glass paperweight, expertly hand-cut and engraved with a beautifully detailed Veiltail goldfish design. This stunning piece of contemporary Scottish glass art is number 717 of only 1,500 pieces ever produced, making it a rare and desirable collector’s item from one of the UK’s most celebrated glassmakers.
Crafted by Caithness Glass, renowned worldwide for its innovative glass techniques and fine engraving, this paperweight features a clear, spherical form measuring approximately 3.5 inches in diameter. The front has been masterfully cut and engraved to reveal a flowing Veiltail goldfish, with delicately etched fins and tail that appear to drift through the aquatic hues of green and blue swirling inside the glass.
The internal colouration and form evoke an underwater environment, giving a dynamic sense of movement and depth when viewed from different angles. This is not just a paperweight, but a miniature glass sculpture, perfectly combining craftsmanship and artistry.
This piece is in very good condition, with no chips, cracks, or repairs, and retains its full brilliance and clarity. It is engraved with the edition number (717/1500) and Caithness signature, confirming its authenticity.
