KevinH:
Carole, please do post images of the other bottles.

The only web page I am aware of that compares (Scottish) millefiori Ink Bottles is my own at:
http://www.btinternet.com/~kevh.glass/pages/Inkwells/Inkwells.htm
The information is limited to discussion of styles and main features based on three "Vasart / Salvador" and two "Unknown Maker" items.

Kevin

On closer inspection and after reading your page I think these might be Vasart or one might be Salvador I am not sure.

Pictures attached as usual if you need more just let me know and I will supply these as well.

KevinH:
Took me a while to get back to these latest two.

Until a couple of years ago, I had not seen bottles like these. But then a few came to light with a clear neck section and with that "flared" look to the rim and also the small "well" section in the body. UV checks showed they were not consistent with early Vasart but matched later Vasart / Strathearn. The canes are probably all early Vasart, though.

The pink-necked one is the first I have seen (I think) with a coloured neck rather than clear.

A broadly similar one with a clear neck is shown in the Scottish Paperweights book on page 47, but the stopper sits much lower than in the two shown here.
