I have been looking up old posts on neodymium glass and find many relating to Caithness. This leaves me pondering the question - how many ranges were made in neodymium? It isn't mentioned in Mark Hill's excellent book, so I thought I would post here how many pieces I have and people can add to.
The age range seems to be 60s/70s right up to 2000s
Rose Bowl 4071 / 70s with label (see photo)
Rose Bowl 4071 (small) 1990s 2000s with label
Floral vase B106CA14 / 90s (see photo)
4002 Birds 1975 engraved by Elaine Swanson (see photo)
Rose Bowl 5043 from Tranquility range 1990s
CT117 / 1990s with label

I have quite a lot Adam - can't post photos just now - off to work - but will add some later. I know I have a very early lamp base - Domnhall O Broin design, which is neodymium, plus lots of later stuff.

I have two Caithness perfume bottle which aren't neodymium but which have stoppers which are.

Also ;
Erica perfume bottle
Pebble paperweight
Also have barrel vase (hummingbird engraved)
Romeo & Juliet tall vase
and stroma bud vase - but no photos handy of those.
At one point everything I bought from Caithness seemed to be neodymium!
good job I like it :)

Ohhh very nice! :mrgreen: I like the neo lampbase. I have one of those on peat. Love 'em! :hiclp:
-
Thanks Anne. yes I like the lampbase too - would like to get a fitting and use it properly as a lamp again.
One of these days I 'll take it down to the electrical store!

I found one of those fittings that push in works well (bottle adapter I think they are sold as.)

Thanks everyone for posting in this thread.
Interesting to see how long Caithness made different pieces in neodymium - below is a large rose bowl with 60s 70s label alongside a small rose bowl with 2000s label which gives a good idea of time period - 45 to 50 years?
Also shown is 5043 rose bowl - Tranquility range and CT117 from Shakespeare range.

Oh! I've got a Tranquillity bowl too - didn't realise that was neodymium ;D

I have the Complete Collection Trade Price List of July '99.
It was given to me by Hilary Green from Dartington and when the boss is coming over on Tuesday I will ask if he can post it here sometime next week.
Needless to say, I got it because Caithness made a neodymium hyacinth vase! Not that the whole pricelist is neodymium I don't think.
Just have a bit of patience....

As promised :kissy: here are the two images from the 1999 Caithness price list. The JPEG compression to the price list to get it down to 125KB has meant it is a little grim, but still perfectly readable.

Thank you David - oh though - so much more to find !
Price list very interesting too though - I found the original price for my Labyrinth flared trumpet vase on it too :thup:
Thanks
