This lot comprises two British studio art glass paperweights including examples by Teign Valley Glass and Caithness Glass. The first item is a spherical hand-blown glass paperweight featuring a dense internal spiral of orange and peach-coloured frit, accented by a shimmering field of fine, controlled seed bubbles. The base of the sphere features a ground and polished pontil mark and sits upon a separate clear square display stand. The stand bears a rectangular black and silver adhesive label which reads TEIGN VALLEY GLASS, with a stylised padlock logo and DEVON ENGLAND. The second item is an ovoid hand-blown glass paperweight from the Cinderella series. The interior is decorated with flowing swirls of pastel pink, yellow, and amber glass, punctuated by several larger controlled air bubbles. The base is flat and polished, featuring an etched maker mark which reads Caithness CINDERELLA Scotland, with an etched alphanumeric code K101736 to the periphery.
