Hi welcome to my listings. Today I have the pleasure of offering you This Signed Peter Holmes Paperweight Cascade, measures approx 3 inches X 4.5 inches.
Approximately twelve years ago I had an inquiry from a lady in New Zealand concerning a paperweight Rainbow Cascade which Peter Holme made at Caithness Glass Peter made the original Rainbow cascade at Caithness glass in 1974 - 75, I could not source the original paperweight so I asked the lady if she wanted me to ask Peter Holmes to make her one similar at Scottish Borders Art Glass ( Not the original Cascade) , she agreed and I asked Peter, Peter made me Two Weights, the lady bought the first weight and I was left with the second, both unsigned, I think that it created confusion among collectors as the were unsigned, so I took the weight to my friend Peter Holmes and asked him to sign the weight. the weight is now signed by Peter.
I am a long time friend of Peter Holmes, My wife was a glass finisher at Selkirk Glass and also a long time friend of Peter,
I understand Peter also made a similar weight at Selkirk glass in the 90s
