top facet and two rows of side facets. Signature cane. "John
Deacons, a skilled designer trained at Edinburgh College of Art,
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 creations. The company produced
paperweights in the classic style until it ceased operation in
1983." --All About Paperweights.
