One-Of-A-Kind: Unique Perthshire Paperweights
July 27, 2024 to July 28, 2024
Overview
Perhaps no name is more synonymous with contemporary Scottish glass than that of Perthshire Paperweights. Founded in 1968 by Stuart Drysdale,Perthshire Paperweights was borne out of a desire to preserve the classic designs of antique millefiori paperweights produced by the French factories of Baccarat, Clichy and St. Louis. In fact, it was an article and accompanying photographs featuring the collection of the Bergstrom Art Centerin the July, 1965 issue of Woman’s Day magazine that piqued Drysdale’s interest of creating paperweights in the style and artistry of the old masters.
This exhibition features one-of-a-kind examples of Perthshire paperweights and related items. Some of the examples served as prototypes forlater designs, while others were created to commemorate an event or memorialize and individual. On exhibit in the Mabel R. McClanahan Memorial Study Gallery.
