I've got Mark's book on my lap, just checking that I'm correct in thinking Canisbay is not found in this colour, (Loch). The book just says no examples of Loch or Moss have yet been found.
However, that does not rule Caithness out.
They did use the same shape of stem on small wide bowls, about the size of, but wrong shape for grapefruit.
I know our Anne has one or two - she got them from me - one neodynium and one green.
And later on, this stem shape was used on other vases, in a hollow form on Salome and in solid form on the Silver Jubilee goblets, also on large straight sided, engraved commemorative goblets.

The colour does look correct, the rim looks correct.
We just need confirmation. This shape is not one I can find in the book, but I do know of shapes that are not in it.  :)

I live close to Caithness production, I've been seeing it everywhere all my life and I tend to encounter more of the "not paperweight" things.  ;)

Thank's Sue  :)
We get a fair amount down here in North Wales of Caithness glass
and i keep meaning to get the book:( i think i will get one ordered if
these turn out to be made by them :) I did find a set of the small
Canisbay in this color a few years ago but haven't got them any longer
i wish i did so i could compare the sutle colors. Have you been finding
any nice pieces by Michael Harris Of late?

Wonderful piece of glass you got there so heavily made it appears
to be a keeper and to think these thing's have found there way to
Germany i think we need to write a good advert we could do swap's
with Karl Weidmann glass back across to Germany. I found my first piece
made by Keith Murray recently but i know which i would rather  8)
