Help identifying retro glass with hoops
« on: September 18, 2008, 10:09:00 PM »
Hello,

Could anyone help me shed some light on the maker of this smokey brown vase please and a possible date (please don't be Ikea 1999!) .

Measuring  8 1/2 inches in height it show wear to the base but does not have a pontil mark. Being chunky in design, it is rather heavy

Kind regards,

Wes

Based on colour and the rings, I would say Caithness.
One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. William Hartnell

Would appreciate some large views for Scotland's Glass, lots of work to be done on early Caithness. I cannot promise when it will go on but I would jump the queue with it if possible (see my Cafe post)
