Hi,
This was not a Caithness production piece; looking at the flowers I would say it was from the 1983/4 era. This was the period that we were training other glassmakers to do lampwork; as the demand was outstripping the ability we had to produce them. We only really had Harry McKay who was used to making that type of weight, so I remember setting up simple lampwork designs made up from left over flowers from the lampwork boxes so that other glassmakers could practise without wasting actual designs. I obviously do not remember the designs, but if I was to guess then I would say this was one of those weights as they automatically just were sent through to the seconds shop to sell. Hope this is of some use even though it doesn't exactly identify this actual weight.
