Title: Swedish Glass Bowl? - ID = Caithness
Post by: dinklepip on May 20, 2012, 12:58:03 PM
Very heavy item I purchased today and was sold by the former owner it was Swedish.  Tapers down within the bowl to form very thick glass and which (from the side view) is about 2" thick.  Can anyone ID please

Well I don't know if this is any help but quite bizarrely I was looking up something else, clicked on this link a  Caithness hyacinth vase came up that is lilac and has cut vertical lines in it -

well, that is just the weirdest coincidence - I wasn't even looking up hyacinth vases, and I'd only just looked at this thread minutes before  :o spooky

Just co-incidence, m, just co-incidence.  :P

Look at enough images of glass and it will happen quite often....
