Peter McDougall Paperweights for Sale
Peter McDougall started his glassmaking career as an apprentice at Strathearn Glass in Crieff, Scotland back in the 1960s. When Perthshire was formed in 1968, he left Strathearn to move to Perthshire and worked there in many positions, eventually becoming Manager and Chief Glassmaker. Perthshire Paperweights closed early in 2002.
Peter continued making making high quality glass paperweights in his own glass studio PMcD Glass Studio Ltd. in Crieff, Scotland until early 2012. The studio is now closed but Peter plans to continue to make a limited number of paperweights in the future. I am pleased to be able to offer this selection of PMcD paperweights.

design with complex millefiori canes on a white lace or upset
muslin ground. There are seventeen complex canes, all of
which appear to be different. It is signed with a paper
