Title: Pair of Caithness wine glasses for show.
Post by: keith on November 09, 2022, 02:22:27 PM

6.25 inches tall, can only read Caithness on the label, 'Flamenco' pattern I believe  ;D

Here was me thinking the name was Panache (need to check the book). Some of these wine glasses have a label saying Caithness made in England  - I believe that was in Kings Lynn at what had been the Wedgwood factory, either way these glasses are lovely, heavy, tactile and great to use.

Here is that label.

Panache is the name for rounded glasses. Flamenco for bowls, candleholders, two types of carafe and a jug. Martini (conical) glasses and a decanter are called Charisma.

They come in Midnight (black and white) Dawn (pink and ruby) and Twilight (blue and pink).
Designed by Colin Terris and Alastair MacIntosh '87.

Sue has done the hard work for me and the other two colour combos...

By way of odd coincidence I bought a decanter today with the Dawn colours, conical so sounds like it would be Charisma. A photo will have to follow as it is not here with me.

There's more. Something called Sunrise was added at a later date, but I don't know what colours that is.
And in general Some were made at King's Lynne and when Dartington took over, more shapes were added.
It is all a bit complicated. :'(
It seems to have been a fairly popular range that was in production throughout several changes.
