  Caithness Canisbay Loch Glasses.

Sue are the bowls in the book you mention? I dont remember
having ever seen them before they look unusual and not what id
expect to see a Caithness label on
I think the shade of color on my glasses is a good match with the ebay items
Fingers crossed

Hi Monika,
I have a huge Ikora lamp base which i purchased years back
but it is incomplete i have the large light socket post which goes down into
the lamp base but i am missing the 3-way switch and the cap which
holds the rod inside the lamp base central i just haven't been able to
come across the parts to finish it i will try and dig it out for you
and put some pictures on here Dan

No Dan, those bowls are not illustrated in the book. The colours are a perfect match, the construction is a perfect match and they're found around me. I have seen a marked one, but I haven't seen any for a while.
Charity shops are filling up with a whole new generation of uber-tat, the older, less-tatty-tat has vanished...

  I hear that and agree fully down here it's TK Max etc although some
is better than you might expect just wish they would take the time too
design for themselves instead of copying old trusted designs

I love glass, I love lamps, glass lamps are the cherry on the cake. I own a mushroom lamp and an Ice cube from Peill and Putzler, I think in UK quite unknown. My husband just bought an Laura Ashley Glass Lamp for me. But an Ikora lamp would be grate, even if I only can have a look.
Dan please repair it

There's a third colour of the footed thingies too, as Sue will probably remember.  This one found in south Cumbria and now living with both Sue's ones here with me.

I did note before, and your pic shows this clearly Anne, that they're not exactly the same heights.
Or thicknesses.
Finding variation in Caithness is unusual, their Quality Control was very strict. I suspect these were not a very regular sort of thing for them to make, although they do turn up.

They were just an example I know of, which uses this thick foot that is not in the book, Dan has tracked down Loch examples of Canisbay goblets.
We haven't found evidence that the tall goblets in question are not Caithness yet, but we do know there are related oddities and unknowns.

Hi Monika,
Sorry took ages but it was hidden away

Will just need to find a table that can hold it then lol
