A finely lampworked puffin stands between 2 pale-lilac flowers. His colourful plummage - white breast, black wings, yellow, pale-blue & bright-red beak and scarlet legs - is in stark contrast to the aquamarine-flashed background. The composition of the design - with stylized seagulls overhead - achieves a terrific 3-dimensional effect. In the sandy ground on the left is a green/white WM signature cane. The small, polished base is scratch-signed: Puffin Caithness Scotland and numbered 16-100. (The original certificate confirms that the weight was designed and made by William Manson)
