OK, you Davidson Glass sleuths and detectives......got a question!
take a look at this link:
http://i8.ebayimg.com/02/i/06/4f/ca/5d_1_b.JPGI just won this auction (the auction just closed today). I also have this bowl without the attached metal frame.
I know that this is pattern No. 269, registered in 1913 and that Davidson made it for something like 70 years. However, I did not think that Davidson made the vaseline/uranium color in yellow for anywhere near that long.
In looking at Angela Bowey's article on Davidson, she shows the blue service in this color:

This design (left) by Davidsons is clear blue without the pearline white edge. It was introduced when "pearline" was becoming less popular in 1908. Its registration number was 533040, and this number was stamped into the moulds, so it can almost always be found if you run your finger gently over the glass. It was produced in several colours (clear, blue, green, amber) and in vast quantities over a 40 year period, from 1908 to the 1940's. In later years the pieces often had chromium plated attachments.[/b]
What time frame was "LATER YEARS"??
By the way, I have also seen a photo of this pattern in a double marmalade that was PRIMROSE PEARLINE! (I just can't get the owner to sell it to me!)
