Is this Caithness
« on: November 07, 2007, 01:26:25 PM »
Hi, i have this paperweight which is marked E II R   in the central bubble is a crown.
                                                         1952-1977
                                                                 2333
It isnt marked Caithness, but i have a feeling it may be, any advise?

Is the EIIR on the base or on a facet - it took a lot of tweaking to get it visible. A profile view may help, but it is not Caithness style of marking. Mark is sandblasted through a stencil but the 2333 by stylus.

Sue,

Forgive me for stating the obvious but this looks to be CT71 Jubilee Crown Bubble designed by Colin Terris in an edition size of 3000 - that makes sense if you've got a stylus showing the number within that edition size...

Looks likely, lousy pic in Charlton though. Does anyone else have one?

No but at least I wasn't far off  :D

I was thrown by there being no ID on the base other than design name. That's very unusual by the time they got to 77 (and PH branched off).

Well Sue, it looks like it IS Caithness, and book price is £60 (though realistically it is more likely to be £30-£45) :)

So my first hunch was right, thank you all so much, although most of my glass will not be with me for long, due to a lack of space and a nagging husband  :cry:
