A specimen vase, no.OG18, from the Oban range, designed by Charles Orr and Peter Fuin for Caithness Glass in 1969. A rounded trapezoid shape with unusually separate coloured glass stripes in orange, yellow, green, light blue and violet.
These vases with heay bases were highly successful and became the a hallmark of the Oban range.The form was designed by Peter Fuin with each side flattend, rolled slightly and then elongated by swinging. The base was flattened using a pad on the floor. Each example is therefore unique in precise shape and size. In 1981, a standard sized vase cost £8.95.
