I have just put my Sowerby biscuit barrel for sale at ebay, and it was pointed out to me that it would have been appropriate for me to acknowledge Glen and the Glass Message Board for help in identification. I apologize for not doing this. If it doenst sell this time I will certainly add that when I next relist. susan

Remarkably, I am still registerted!

I was lamenting the loss of the Sowerby biscuit barrel, not only the barrel, but the pics also.

Does the person who identified it for me originally not have any picture of that pattern, since she knew it?

And I must check out that Sowerby CD I see mentioned on another thread.

And I must bookmark this site again, now that I have found it again. I lost all my bookmarks on that computer that died

Yes, the person (me) who identified the biscuit barrel does have an illustration - but it is a catalogue illustration and not a photo of the actual piece.

And the Sowerby CD would be useful for identifying such items. We have made two CDs and the third should be ready in the New Year. The first CD covers the late 1800s up to around 1912 - the second CD is from 1912 to circa 1950s. Pattern book pages (catalogues), contemporary articles from the Pottery Gazette etc etc etc.

If I get time later (I am somewhat rushed at the moment) I will try and do a scan of the biscuit barrel from the catalogue.

Glen,

Hi Pamela - yes, thanks - it's the time to do it that I'm actually short of. All the work for the CDs was done on Steve's computer (not mine). I am actually working on my old steam driven one (I'm teasing :lol: though sometimes it feels like it :lol: ) and I need to scan in from the original catalogue. It takes a while to switch all the plugs etc round for that and I am really short on time right now (I keep popping in between tasks).
