A Davidson Glass question
« on: February 26, 2006, 08:08:54 PM »
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.JPG

I 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:
http://www.glass.co.nz/533040.jpg
and the text that goes with it:
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!)

Snap, well almost. I have one of these in the uranium glass but mine is in an epns stand (a lovely snug fit so I reckon original) with a handle and what I reckon is the original spoon. Mine has Made In England stamped in the middle, which sort of spoils it a bit, better covered with the jam/jelly!

i have a small marmalade, with the MADE IN ENGLAND in the middle, with EPNS stand also, but was more specifically asking about the permanently attached metal base, which puts it at a later production.  I am trying to figure out WHEN they started attaching the metal permanently!

Dave — It is something of a mystery, as Chris & Val Stewart, in their recently published Davidson Glass — a history, can only date it to 1919–1939.   I assume from this that they have found no mention of it in what records have survived.

Certainly Davidson made only a few styles in yellow uranium / Canary glass, your 269 dish, the 695 dish, and the 279 and 279D "column" vases.

... and, coincidentally, I have just received (half an hour ago) a most useful email from the secretary of the Pewter Society, which narrows down the date of my pewter mounted Pyrex casserole from 1921–53 from Jobling's Pyrex mark, to just 1926–39 from Viner's mark on the pewter stand, a reduction of over a half.

It doesn't often happen, but it is great when it does.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

I have this pattern in green and blue with a slightly taller stand as well (not uranium green as far as I know, although not tested it with UV yet);

I did see a very pale pink set listed on eBay earlier today, which was suggested to be by Laura Ashley, so are they doing repro's of this pattern I wonder?

Dave, how is it attached? Glued or what? I've not seen one with a stand that doesn't have the hole with a screw through into the base like mine.

I have not personally handled THIS one, as it has to come from Australia, but have seen others.  they are crimped onto the snap ring on the bottom.
