Holmegaard decanter and glass? - ID = Caithness
« on: May 27, 2019, 03:45:57 PM »
Could someone, please, ID this decanter and glass? It is Holmegaard-ish. The glass is similar to the Holm Canada style but the bowl is more rounded and the decanter is round too. I've Googled but I can't find either decanter or glass. Thank you for any help.

I don't have the book, but they were produced by Caithness. The colour looks like heather.

You're welcome.

The glass is Caithness Canisbay.

The decanter is also Caithness, but not sure which range it's from off the top of my head.

Hope this helps a little.

The Decanter is no. 4080 (no name) designed by Colin Terris, introduced in '77 and only ever made in the colour Peat.
So if the colour matches the goblets, they're Peat too.  :)
If they're greyer, they're Smoke.
Heather would be purple, Moss is green. And Loch is blue.

Thank you all for your invaluable help as always. I bought the glasses and decant off the same person so I imagine they were purchased together originally. Cheers!

A Canisbay decanter was not compulsory with Canisbay glasses, the other shapes of decanter made at the same time all match, colour wise and can be used instead - as it is in this set.
It is a proper set you have. :)
