Caithness 'egg' weight question.
« on: September 30, 2019, 12:18:55 PM »
Had this for a while, the marks to the base are very difficult to read, you can just make out  Caithness and Scotland, after using a strong back light you can just make out 'Midsummer ......?' which I think says crocus, not in my book, does anyone know by who, I know Colin Terris did one similar called 'Daffodill'

What a pretty bottom!  :)
I have absolutely not seen one like that before. Bottom, that is. I've seen an awful lot of big pink flowers.  ;)

So these are older rather than newer - and not terribly common. I'd have noticed the beautiful bottoms. I think they could be very closely related.  :)

Hmm. About the time I started collecting. How long does it take for things to start turning up in the secondary market?
Does that depend on how "desirable" it is in the first place?
Nice stuff stays away for longer?  ;)

My screen says £37.99, plus delivery.
No, no info, but it is an image of Midsummer Crocus - and the flower seems to be on the outside rather than the inside as well as constructed differently.
I did a search using Caithness Terris (and) Midsummer, to see what did appear.
That was the only thing surfaced that was anything like yours.
No daffs.  ;)

But you know what? Midsummer is not the right season for either crocuses or daffs. :o
