Title: Rare Beautifully Made Alexandrite / Neodymium Color Changing Ships Decanter????
Post by: LEGSY on December 24, 2023, 01:09:32 PM

Found another decanter for collecting collection, Have been unable to find any markings and don't have
any firm idea on manufacturer as yet but i did seem to think of Caithness?? When i first bought it for some
reason. The Weight is quite something and it has a nice ring of wear on the base so would imagine that it may
be of Art Deco style but maybe of more recent manufacture. Hopefully some body might have seen another in the
past and that big stopper might help with attribution possibly. Anyway thanks for taking a look. :)

Just changed my last post to include the correct page number...  When Caithness bought out King's Lynn Crystal several cut ranges were produced there in colourless as well as Lavender and Brancaster blue. Cuts tended to be traditional, first launched in 1987, the blue mentioned was from 1992 so they made this kind of thing for quite a few years.
