oh, that's interesting! Perhaps it has had a knock, although it's strange I don't feel any damage.  There is so much to learn, I am so glad I found this forum.  thanks again!

I don't know if this the same type of thing but this one is signed with a number and then just signed 'orchid'

Just wondering if there is any way Dole Role or Nole might be the name of a flower lol :), the flower engraved on the bowl. But can't think of any that would match at the moment.

Yes!  I think you've hit the nail on the head.  I'm sure it does say 'rose'.....in a scrawled way!!   I've gone from 'nougy' to 'rose 99'.  I think the latter make much more sense !
Thank you again for your input and sensible suggestions.  Now, I wonder...who is Nougy? ;)

Well done Mike  ;D  I was tired last night so 'Rose' just didn't even occur to me.

 Well, I thought it read Roselyn and couldn't work out why the first part of the name wasn't joined up to the last part... then I realised that the first part was rose  ::) The last two might be the artists initials rather than 99 ? . Not that I know anything about Caithness glass  :-\ . I have seen examples on ebay with the artist's initials though as opposed to numbers.
