Really flumoxed into buying these today as i just thought Caithness
they have the same weight feel and i have owned Loch Canisbay's in the
past and from what i remember the color is strangely similar but this
shape has anybody seen the like before :) gotta satisfy myself fingers
crossed size 22 cm tall x 4.5 cm rim Thank you for looking ...

I've got Mark's book on my lap, just checking that I'm correct in thinking Canisbay is not found in this colour, (Loch). The book just says no examples of Loch or Moss have yet been found.
However, that does not rule Caithness out.
They did use the same shape of stem on small wide bowls, about the size of, but wrong shape for grapefruit.
I know our Anne has one or two - she got them from me - one neodynium and one green.
And later on, this stem shape was used on other vases, in a hollow form on Salome and in solid form on the Silver Jubilee goblets, also on large straight sided, engraved commemorative goblets.
The colour does look correct, the rim looks correct.
We just need confirmation. This shape is not one I can find in the book, but I do know of shapes that are not in it. :)

;) Wow this is exciting i don't get out enough hahaha Thank's
Chopinlistz again :) Thanks for the great information..Dan

I live close to Caithness production, I've been seeing it everywhere all my life and I tend to encounter more of the "not paperweight" things. ;)
(Sue is easier to type than my username Dan, if I may call you that? :) )
-
Thank's Sue :)
We get a fair amount down here in North Wales of Caithness glass
and i keep meaning to get the book:( i think i will get one ordered if
these turn out to be made by them :) I did find a set of the small
Canisbay in this color a few years ago but haven't got them any longer
i wish i did so i could compare the sutle colors. Have you been finding
any nice pieces by Michael Harris Of late?
-
;D ;D ;D I just recently obtained the very last thing on my wish list. ;D ;D ;D
A Zig-Zag with cobalt in.

Now, the only things I might want are the things I don't know about yet. 8)

::)
Wonderful piece of glass you got there so heavily made it appears
to be a keeper and to think these thing's have found there way to
Germany i think we need to write a good advert we could do swap's
with Karl Weidmann glass back across to Germany. I found my first piece
made by Keith Murray recently but i know which i would rather 8)
-
Mdina exported to Germany. :)
And you can have Keith Murray, as long as I can have Karl Weidmann. ;D
-
Sorry but Carl Wiedmann has come first to me... I‘m German and don‘t have one😔
-
Sorry I‘m wrong, he also designed Myra, and so I have him In my collection, the ikora is still miss

:) Caithness Canisbay Loch Glasses.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?viewitem&item=223650869286
Sue are the bowls in the book you mention? I dont remember
having ever seen them before they look unusual and not what id
expect to see a Caithness label on :)
I think the shade of color on my glasses is a good match with the ebay items
Fingers crossed ;)

Hi Monika,
I have a huge Ikora lamp base which i purchased years back
but it is incomplete i have the large light socket post which goes down into
the lamp base but i am missing the 3-way switch and the cap which
holds the rod inside the lamp base central i just haven't been able to
come across the parts to finish it :( i will try and dig it out for you
and put some pictures on here Dan :)
-
No Dan, those bowls are not illustrated in the book. The colours are a perfect match, the construction is a perfect match and they're found around me. I have seen a marked one, but I haven't seen any for a while.
Charity shops are filling up with a whole new generation of uber-tat, the older, less-tatty-tat has vanished...
-
;) I hear that and agree fully down here it's TK Max etc although some
is better than you might expect just wish they would take the time too
design for themselves instead of copying old trusted designs ::)
-
I love glass, I love lamps, glass lamps are the cherry on the cake. I own a mushroom lamp and an Ice cube from Peill and Putzler, I think in UK quite unknown. My husband just bought an Laura Ashley Glass Lamp for me. But an Ikora lamp would be grate, even if I only can have a look.
Dan please repair it ;D :-*

I've found a pic of the small footed things!
There's a third colour of the footed thingies too, as Sue will probably remember. This one found in south Cumbria and now living with both Sue's ones here with me. 8)

I did note before, and your pic shows this clearly Anne, that they're not exactly the same heights.
Or thicknesses.
Finding variation in Caithness is unusual, their Quality Control was very strict. I suspect these were not a very regular sort of thing for them to make, although they do turn up.
They were just an example I know of, which uses this thick foot that is not in the book, Dan has tracked down Loch examples of Canisbay goblets. ;D 8) ;D
We haven't found evidence that the tall goblets in question are not Caithness yet, but we do know there are related oddities and unknowns. :)

Hi Monika,
Sorry took ages but it was hidden away
in the cellar this is the lamp i have the central
bulb holder which lights the inside but i am miossing
a 3 way switch and the bit that holds the light holder
in place if you ever come across any let me know :)
Will just need to find a table that can hold it then lol
it weighs a ton....
-
The above glasses are soon to be on there way to
USA to a big Caithness collector so will have to get
that book :)
-
:o
That lamp base looks more like Webb's Agate Flambe than Ikora to my eye.
Taking another look there are a few examples on line with the same colour way and WMF does look right.
-
If that lamp base were mine, :o :o :o the MINE bit would be more important than any attribution, but I'd still be delighted with either of those. ;D

Hey Legsy
VERY nice lamp food, I go with glasobsessed that it is a seldom Ikora style. But I like it really. Hopefully you get it fixed, much to pretty to spend a life in cellars.
