Title: Does anyone have a list of Caithness engravers and their initials?
Post by: herb_62 on December 18, 2011, 07:32:02 PM

I would be incredibly grateful if anyone has a list of Caithness engravers and their initial "signatures".  DM, CT and HM I am reasonably confident about but can anyone enlighten me on AS or CB?  And for that matter any others  :rn:

From Mark Hill's book -Loch Heather and Peat,  which includes a list of some engravers;
AS could be either Annabel Smith, or Alan Sutherland
CB could be Christine Beaton or Catherine Burns.

Highly recommend Mark's book if you have an interest in Caithness Glass.

And re Scotlands people website. From Frank's earlier post it seems they need financial support to get up and running again with a different host site - If everyone with an interest in Scottish Glass donated a few Euros I'm sure they could be viable again soon. A great loss!
