Hi Wolf,

Next DVD will do. I will also send you one of PP's for identification.

Back to the disc, I realised that I had failed to put ALL of the information on Scotland's Glass. The Water Lily series was issued in 1998 with it's own leaflet and this did give the shapes of 3 or the designs, I have now included those shapes against the relevant weights to give an instant comparison as well as solving this question.

http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.view_images&product_id=294&image_id=538&Itemid=27

I shall try not to omit data in future.

The reason SG appears to be being updated slowly, is that I had price lists separate from catalogues and am having to update hundreds of listings several times as I work through the price lists. I am also organising the next batch of glassware images and trying to get designs sorted over a longish period.  But each week some updates are being made and very soon there will be another huge upload of hundreds more Caithness. Perthshire items have also expanded with a lot of 'additional' views being added to supplement the catalogue images - and lots more of those still to upload (I guess at least another thousand items waiting for upload)

I've found the original A4 sheet issued by Caithness in 1998 which just shows the Water Lily Collection.

The designs for Lilypool and Traditional Pool are very similar.  In addition to the pictures of the eight paperweights making up the Water Lily Collection, the sheet also shows (for those where the shape is not obvious from the picture) a small outline of the shape.  Traditional Pool is a low dome.  Lilypool is a disc shape (as you say like an ice hockey puk).  So I'm sure your's is a Lilypool.
