Title: Caithness Glass I know... anyone have a better id?
Post by: stevetheb on July 08, 2008, 06:54:12 PM

I picked this one up today in a charity shop for a couple of squid.

It's etched on the base as Caithness - Scotland and an edition number of 289/3000

It's 20 cms tall.

I've spent most of the afternoon surfing.. and getting nowhere.

a) Is the bird a wren?
b) Anyone know what the vase is called?

Many thanks in advance...

Steve

Did you look here (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk) at the catalogues Frank has painstakingly added? Yes it's a wren and it's a barrel vase from the Images range

Lomg way to go, especially glassware. If you come across any catalogues, leaflets or adverts please send in. Do you collect Caithness in particular?

Nope.. though my Ex used to work for them at King's Lynn! But nope glass wise I collect anything that looks pretty and is cheap enough!
