Shattaline paperweights

1: Summary

SHATTALINE Limited operated from the mid-1960s for about 10 years. Products were a craft-made range of decorative items including paperweights, pen holders, candle holders, tables, table lamps and table lighters. The manufacturing process was discovered by Lewen Tugwell, a retired major in the British Army and talented sculptor from Farnham, Surrey (UK). These items have become collectable but little is known about them, so this site seeks to redress that. Please click on the "next page" button or the individual links below for more information about the process, products and people involved, together with many photos of Shattaline products and some similar items from their imitators.

Preface to the 2nd (revised) edition, March 2011

It’s now more than 5 years since I created this site, and I have received a lot of feedback and additional additional information. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed, especially Angela O’Sullivan, daughter of the firm’s founder Lewen Tugwell and her mother, the late Mrs Joan Tugwell who has recently passed away. All links are identifiable by their blue underlined text. I hope anyone returning to the site enjoys the changes and I look forward to receiving any comments, corrections or reminiscences about Shattaline. If you find any broken links or have any constructive comments, please let me know - Mike.
