The Colin Terris Classic Collection

Master Designer Colin Terris brought about a major revolution in paperweight design during the 1960's when he 'invented' modern design paperweights. Colin has designed literally thousands of paperweights and art glass pieces since he joined Caithness Glass in 1968, many of which are now valued collectables. He created his 'Classic' limited edition range of paperweights in celebration of his 33 years with the company.

In this collection, probably Colin's last paperweight collection for Caithness due to his retirement at the end of 2001, he looks back over 30 years of paperweight design and has selected twelve of his favourites and re-interpreted them for 2002. Colin's choice was influenced by many things; a name; a technique that was instantly successful; a new shape or faceting style, or just a piece of which he has always been particularly fond. He hopes that you will enjoy his selections.

Colin Says "To select only 12 pieces from over 1,500 designs was a very difficult and nostalgic experience, since each one feels like one of my children. It brought back many happy memories of people I have worked with and collectors I have met over the years".

Each piece is limited to its edition size and to production only in 2002.

Martian Skyline - Inspired by Mountain of Mars 1984, one of Colin's all time favourites this interpretation benefits from a new panoramic shaped paperweight. A greater landscape look is possible and 'Mother Earth', in the background gives great depth to the sparkling mountains.
