I don't often get this lucky, but I've just bought a LE Caithness - 'Caprice' no. 664 of 750 by Colin Terris, 1983 with a 'book price' of £50 - for £1.71 :shock:

It was just identified as a 'Lovely Flower Paperweight' and I thought it was pretty and would go in the cabinet with my 'dime-a-dozen' Chinese crimp flowers, so I put a small 'registering my interest' bid and forgot about it.

It arrived this morning, and when I looked at the base ..... WOW!

Did you just forget to bid, Ray? :twisted:

I'm interested; did you recognise it for what it was, or just think, as I did, that it was a nice looking weight?
