The birth of Scottish paperweight making is credited to the glass making family of Salvador Ysart, who moved to Crieff, Scotland in 1922.

They worked first at John Moncrieff Ltd and made the earliest Scottish paperweights during that period. In 1946 Salvadore and his sons Augustine and Vincent founded Ysart Brothers Glass and produced glass wares under the Vasart label. Salvador Ysart died in 1955 The company name was later changed to Vasart Glass. Strathearn Glass was formed in a reorganization of Vasart glass in 1963.

The new company was owned by Teachers Whiskey. The factory was taken over by Stuart Glass in 1980 and renamed Stuart Strathearn Ltd.

After 1980, this factory ceased production of paperweights and stopped all production in 1992. Stuart Crystal ceased all operations in 2001. Size: Just over 3" diameter by 2 1/8" high.

The base is polished flat. Minor wear on the base, but no other scratches found on inspection. Signature: Signed with a Strathearn paper label with a leaping salmon and "STRATHEARN HAND MADE IN SCOTLAND" on the base. Allan's Paperweights is owned by Allan Port.
