William Manson
William Manson Paperweights was founded in July 1997 in Perth, Scotland by William Sr and his wife Joyce, joined by their son William and daughter Carolyn. With more than thirty years of glassmaking experience behind him, William Sr is regarded as Scotland’s leading glass artist. His son, William, is rapidly gaining experience and is recognised by paperweight collectors and dealers as a talented young artist in his own right. Using age old techniques, backed by state-of-the-art equipment at their studio, the artists at William Manson Paperweights create limited edition glass paperweights of exquisite beauty. Their range of lampwork designs include flowers, insects, reptiles and fish. Every paperweight produced at the studio bears the artist’s signature cane, they are also signed in script on the base, numbered and dated.
