Early Caithness, but which design?

(1/1)

Lustrousstone:
Nice paperweight with a label  ;D but I can't identify the design from Scotland's Glass. Anyone know what it is please? 3 in diameter, 2.5 in tall


Wuff, do you want the pictures?

josordoni:
Having a look through my Charlton for you Christine, but only one I can see with that kind of central column in the early weights is Sentinel, but that should have 4 distinct large bubbles to the edge, and one on top of the column. 

Do you think the bubble could have fallen off?

Still looking ...

Lustrousstone:
It's similar, but this has definitely got a blue and white starfishy bit at the bottom of the column. Sentinel doesn't seem to, apart from the top bubble. Thanks for looking x

Wuff:
I agree - the four large bubbles are rather low for a Moonflower - but their size seems to vary a lot. Right now there is a marked Moonflower on
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320550642048
which also exhibits rather low bubbles. So my conclusion would be - this is a Moonflower Blue.

And - yes - thank you: I have copied your images  :kissy:

Lustrousstone:
Thanks Wuff, my bubbles are definitely smaller and more oval than teardrop though.
