Glass Message Board

Looks like they could be Walsh then. I don't know.

  It is an extremely well made piece and not the easiest of things to execute. You found it attractive enough to buy it, why would anybody else not feel the same way? 
Caithness vases are not really appreciated as much as they should be. Everybody thinks of paperweights first.

I don't know how well they do in the secondary market, but they are still highly rated.
Good glass is always good glass. 

Yes, I don’t know. The poppy head decanter shown in Lesley Jackson doesn’t look to have any twist to the ribs though and couldn’t see a twist mentioned in the text. Also, the indentations in the side aren’t just dimples but prominent large dents. There is a better picture of a poppy head decanter in McConnell’s Decanter, it looks the same as the one on the love decanter website here: http://www.lovedecanters.co.uk/LDWhiteDecanterPre1900.html

They’re very nice anyway!

Thanks Ekimp, I went through the Walsh book and saw them  but decided that with the shape, twist and four dimples that mine were Powell, but I could be wrong. I have some of the Walsh tumblers and they have a slight flute twist but not the dimples. Mine could still be by someone else though.

I think these are beautiful and a bit special. I've looked through Lesley Jackson's Whitefriars book but can't find this exact design, however I believe them to be "Poppy Head" pattern by Harry Powell from around 1900. They are 7.5" tall, the bowls are wrythen with four dents.
