On Leaflet Ref.24 of 1983 "Floral Range" is described as follows:
Quote
The Caithness Floral range mirrors the diversity of nature. Stems and leaves are incorporated into the glass at the blowing stage using a technique which allows them to grow as they will. Our engravers then interpret the flowers freehand, each in his her own style, as suggested by the pattern of the leaves. The result is a range which has a natural freshness and in which each item is truly individual.

Thank-you for that, Wuff. A lovely image (far better than the one in the book) and a clear description.
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)
