Topic: 'Labyrinth' - Philip Chaplain for Caithness

[Paul S.]

I think we've had just the one 'Labyrinth' posting previously on the Board, so thought I'd add another, which is a different shape from JAK's, and such a nice change to find a piece of Caithness that is different from the zillions of run of the mill touristy pieces that I see in charity shops every week.

Here is the earlier piece..........   http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,42719.msg237690.html#msg237690  ...... and big thanks to Sue for explaining how the effect is produced, although I'd prefer to stick to 'cloisonne' and keep 'primavera' for Botichelli.

This one is about 9.5" (240 m/m) tall, and quite heavy.

There is a whole load of really lovely "studio style" Caithness glass out there... somewhere. Much of it Limited Edition stuff.
Not easy to find and not easy to find out about.

I like that, Paul. I particularly like the tall foot, it sets it off so well.

[Paul S.]

thanks Sue  -  I don't know if their earlier catalogues are available for viewing somewhere  -  but I agree that these studio pieces seem as rare as hen's teeth - it's just the everyday very mundane pieces that are so common.
Don't think this one was a limited edition, but could be wrong.

Never seen one of those before, great find

Can we correct this to Philip Chaplain, as he has commented on a piece of a Facebook (PS he wants to know who Peter Chaplain is (LOL)

[Paul S.]

  apologies to Philip Peter Chaplain  -  though in my defence I have to say nuffin to do wiv me gel - it's all the fault of some
geyser called Mark Hill  -  see page 122 - 'Caithness Glass -Loch, Heather & Peat' -  who calls this artist Philip.

Would have been nice had Peter come straight to the best glass resource forum on the web.

[Lustrousstone]

It was you. The chap's name is Philip. Clean your glasses man!! :-)

[Paul S.]

oh, gosh  ......   time for me to be put out to grass I think, though I can't of course change the subject heading myself.     thanks Christine.

All occurrences of "Peter" in headings in this thread now changed to "Philip".
