atomiser for attribution please.
« on: August 20, 2014, 07:31:15 PM »
I'm no good at coloured glass, but like to add the occasional piece to the perfume/atomiser collection.
No marks on this one - some wear, so could be 30 - 40 years old perhaps, and was wondering if it was possibly something from R/Brierley or I.O.W. perhaps.
Quite heavy for its size and very heavily cased in clear, and the gold foil inclusions give it a good sparkle in the light  - about 130 mm tall (c. 5").
Hope someone will recognize the colourway, and thanks for looking :)

Is it a piece of Caithness Paul there are several similar on Google and the puffer looks very Caithness.

many thanks to both of you.

Must admit that the pink spiralling does remind me of some Caithness designs, although their vases I see don't usually have the colour in quite that strong density.             Will settle for that id then, and thanks again. :)

thanks for taking a look Frank  -  I like the word play with 'Heaven Scent' - might almost have been one of Frank Thrower's descriptions. :)
