Celebrating Helen MacDonald🎆
Today we celebrate Helens very successful 50 years here at Caithness! Helen began her journey here in 1974 starting as a trainee engraver where she began major projects such as engraving decanters for Scotland's local government.
Her passion for introducing pops of colour to all of her designs continues to this day, where they get to come to light and produced by the skilled articians.
Because of this milestone we are releasing this limited edition paperweight to celebrate Helens immense achievements.

Perthshire
Dartington Crystal and Caithness Glass were proud to sponsor the Perthshire Chamber of Commerce Business Star Award category - Beyond Scotland. In addition to sponsoring the award category our skilled team of makers produced the awards themselves with this year's design being inspired by the Perthshire Chamber of Commerce logo and the pastel colours within the weight form the shape of the star.
