CRAZY RARE Caithness Glass, 'Sparkle' Fairy Tales Series LE Paperweight by Colin Terris (BIN)

GORGEOUS work!! Amazing, rare piece! LOW NUMBER 17!!

None available out there right now, except this one, which I sourced from the UK to me, to maybe...you?

While the official certificate and base engraving for this piece state a limited edition size of 500, Caithness Glass frequently closed its limited editions early if the collection's production timeframe ended before the full number could be handmade. According to the official Caithness Paperweight Collectors Society records, production for "Sparkle" (issued in 1995) officially ceased and closed at 323!!

Measures 3.6" x 3.5".

Comes with Original Box, COA and Velvet Pouch!

Design Details

• Theme: This design is part of the Fairy Tales / Fantasy themes popularized by Caithness Glass.
• Internal Motifs: It features a deep translucent teal-blue glass dome filled with controlled internal bubbles and lampworked green flora imitating a magical forest floor.
• The Silhouette: True to the "Sparkle" name, it has a distinct fairy motif etched on the front surface alongside an iridescent pink/shimmering fairy centerpiece captured deep within the glass.
• Exclusivity: This piece was produced as a strict limited edition of only 500 pieces worldwide.
• Designer: Colin Terris (1937–2007), widely hailed as the "father of modern paperweights" for introducing abstract, modern themes to traditional glassmaking starting in the late 1969 era.
