Rare Large Vasart or Strathearn Paneled Millefiori Paperweight Pin Dish

Rare Large Vasart or Strathearn Paneled Millefiori Paperweight Pin Dish. circa 1946-1969. This pin dish features a paneled millefiori design with seven panels with a 1-2 cane pattern separated by colored twists over an orange ground. There is a ring of pink canes with blue centers in the center of the design. The dish is heavy with thick walls and a depressed center. An interesting historical addition to any collection of Scottish paperweights, Ysart glass or millefiori collectibles.

Please Note:The stand shown in the picturesis not included with the paperweight. It is shown for illustration only.

Note on white glare: Please ignore the white areas, they are glare from the light.

Items like this were made by the many of the Scottish paperweight companies (Ysart Brothers, Vasart Glass, Strathearn Glass, or even Perthshire Paperweights). Some of the products made by Vasart were also sold with a Pirelli label. It is important to note that most pin dishes started off as a paperweight. The maker found a defect or problem and rather than stop, turned it into a pin dish.

The birth of Scottish paperweight making is credited to the glass making family of Salvador Ysart, who moved to Crieff, Scotland in 1922. They worked first at John Moncrieff Ltd and made the earliest Scottish paperweights during that period. In 1946 Salvadore and his sons Augustine and Vincent founded Ysart Brothers Glass and produced glass wares under theVasartlabel. Salvador Ysart died in 1955 The company name was later changed toVasart Glass.Strathearn Glasswas formed in a reorganization of Vasart glass in 1963. The new company was owned by Teachers Whiskey.

Large Size:3 7/8” diameter by 1 5/8” high. The center well is 2 13/16\" diameter. The base is fire polished and the pontil mark is ground down.
Condition:Very goodcondition. I found two small scratches on the side, plus some scratches from wear on the base. No chips or cracks.
Signature:Unsigned, but I guarantee this is an early Scottish pin dish made by Vasart or possibly later by Strathearn.
