    I found this gorgeous amethyst Caithness paper weight at a thrift shop and gave it to my mom. The bubble with swirls around it is gorgeous in the warm lavender glow.

    Anyone know when this signed Caithness paperweight and, I guess, the Mooncrystal series, came out?

      I didn't see that particular series listed here, but I could have missed it:
      http://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/paperweights/caithnessglass_paperweights.htm

      Caithness have two listed currently, so they are still in production:

      http://www.caithnessglass.co.uk/paperweights/unlimited-editions/moon-crystals-2.html

      There's information about the designers here:

      I believe you said you weren't on Facebook, they do have a page there:

      Perhaps write and ask them?

      Thank you, Antique Rose. :)

      Wow, Katherine, you did so much research for me!

      EfesGirl, thank you. After I gave it to her yesterday, she said how badly she needed some at work. So today I picked her up another but different paperweight. LOL.

      This one, under more yellow artificial light, interestingly turns a milky blue.
