Post by: yesvil on June 12, 2010, 02:54:37 PM

Can anyone help me with this please. It has a sig on the base but not one I can identify.

The signature looks like "C II G" (although the image is rather small) - which would make it a Caithness Second. In this case it would be a "Florette", designed by Colin Terris and first issued 1985 "in many colour variations". This variation is one I have not seen before - and would therefore be pleased to get your permission to use your images on ScotlandsGlass' Caithness Catalogue (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=159&Itemid=51).
