Title: Caithness Krystals, research help needed
Post by: Frank on January 26, 2009, 01:00:57 AM

Link to 12 examples on Scotland's Glass HERE (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?keyword=krystal&Search=Search&Itemid=51&option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse)

Does anyone have examples of this series?

Also any with different engravings from those shown, or with a different base weight on the same design?

Copies of the signatures for each design would be appreciated too.

Charlton listed only Hummingbird (sic), page 79, but mentions 11 other designs. But note the comment on the SG description for Owl.

Charlton also list, 1986, Playful and Watchful as Krystals, does anyone have this design please?

Also any completely different designs using the same base weight,

Thanks, it would be helpful to find others so that all the engravers involved can be attributed. As well as the consistency of the marking.... might not help that they may not have been marked as Caithness though!

Will get topic title changed.
