did you just want to show the weight - or ask for an attribution? It's Caithness - see here (http://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=4344&category_id=60&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=6)

BTW - edition size was 250.

Another one here is was I expected to see on the base, notice the 4s are very similar, same hand?

Both were commissioned by Peter Jones China of Wakefield, and commissioned weights were often not signed Caithness - just don't ask me why one of them is signed after all, the other one not.
