I forgot to mention Gulliver's text for 98170 (the vase): "Pattern for all kinds of glass globes, or shades, or pedestals etc. (Vermicular pattern shown on a vase)"

Note that he stated "glass globes" rather than "lamps globes". My own reading of the registration text as provided by Paul above, is "lamps globes", so I guess Gulliver just made a simple error.

And I wonder whether the company made two registrations for what is basically the same "vermicular pattern" because in August 1854 they specified "pattern on table glass" and then realised the sales potential for other wares, hence the November 1854 registration.

Am not able to read this thoroughly at the mo,   but just wanted to say thank you for adding the information to both Paul and Kev.
I will have more time next week.  Paul, thanks for the pictures!  None are anything like the three pieces I have. But as soon as you show them I immediately recognised some on some Richardson's pieces I've seen.

I bet Ken now wishes he'd never mentioned buying the book ;)
