Caithness Bowl?
« on: March 25, 2011, 04:39:57 PM »
I am assuming that this bowl is by Caithness and wondered if anybody could give me any information regarding the engraved base. It appears to read IMG 85 or 88. Also would I be right in thinking that the decoration (I think it is a fuschia) would have been applied by sandblasting rather than engraving?

Irene McCaughey was engraving Krystals series paperweights in the mid-1980ies - signing with what looks more like a J (initial only) and full name (McCaughey) with an M similar to your marking - so it could be her, though I'm not sure.
