Title: scottish inkwell/perfume bottle
Post by: cfosterk on January 02, 2006, 04:34:31 AM

PLEASE NOTE LISTED UNDER YSART BEFORE REALISED SHOULD PROBABLY BE LISTED HERE _ MY APOLS TO FRANK & ANGELA....

I have listed an unattributed perfume bottle on ebay (I have two other much more spectacular examples which i intend to keep) BUT it has been suggested that this might have been experimental Strathearn, sometimes used by Herbert Dreier and Dave Moir in the time 1979 to 1980. The email suggested that I compare with cane details at http:strathearn.smugmug.com.

I know similar examples are illustrated in Robert Halls 'Scottish Paperweights' - and there look to be canes from a variety of possible manufacturers...

Have I missed some research, and listed an item that I should probably have kept? HELP!!!!

Hi

Just about to say have a look at my thread on ink bottles and you will see I have one which is very similar to yours by coincidence but Kevin beat me to it.
