A Note About the Manufacturer:

John Deacons trained at the Strathearn Glass company in Crieff, Scotland before moving to Perthshire Paperweights in 1968.

In 1978 he set up his own company J-Glass, but economic pressures forced him to close down operations in 1983.

Another venture - making paperweights for the U.S. market - was called St. Kilda after an island off the coast of Scotland.

Today John works from the small glassworks adjacent to his house in Crieff - and along with his son Craig - produces an amazing range of both millefiori and lampwork paperweights, including double, triple and encased overlays, which are signed with his JHD signature/date cane.
