In 1967 Stuart Drysdale was given a copy of Woman’s Day magazine featuring an article on antique glass paperweights. When he showed the magazine to his glassworkers at Strathearn, they all said they could make them. The next year he left Strathearn with several of his glassworkers to start one of the most successful glass factories in modern history, Perthshire Paperweights. Their mantra was excellence and they succeeded. This book documents their history, production techniques and the hundreds of unique paperweight designs that they produced from their beginning in 1968 until 1997 when this book was published.
