PAPERWEIGHT JOHN DEACONS, J GLASS SET OF 6 EARLY PWTSThese weights are from an early collection produced by John Deacons under the studio name of J Glass, presented in a black, satin-lined custom box with a gold embossed 'J' on the front (see photos).I was John Deacon's US representative in the 1980s and I acquired this set from him at that time. John Deacons was a skilled designer trained at the Edinburgh College of Art. He formed 'J' glass in 1979 in Crieff, Scotland. The company derived its name from the enigmatic 'J' signature cane found in certain nineteenth-century Bohemian weights. Deacons chose this same mark to honor the unknown creator of those ingenious weights and to identify his own skillful creatons. The company produced paperweights in the classic style. The name was changed in 1983 to Deacons Glass, signed with a JD cane.'J' Glass paperweights include floral, insect, and reptile designs in lampwork as well as patterned millefiori motifs. Produced in limited editions of not more than 101 pieces, these are signed with a blue 'J' cane.--Larry Selman
