Thank you, Paul, as always. I will ask the mods to delete the entry in the GMB RD look-up.
Details transcribed as follows:
Class 4; No. 809140; registered 18 January 1936; copyright extensions in 1941 and 1946, finally expiring in 1951. Registrant Jack L. Barnett Limited, 18, Bassinghall Street, Boar Lane, Leeds 1 (presumably the company’s registered office in the heart of Leeds).
From what I can gather, Jack L. Barnett was a Leeds-based business importing and distributing housewares into the UK retail market, and the product range was a mixture of well-known brand names and products purchased from another company and sold under the business’s own brand name/s.
The business was still operating from an industrial estate in the Leeds area in 2005, when it was sold a management buyout, and the company trading name changed to BHL
So, the vase would have been manufactured by a subcontractor, presumably to Barnett’s design specification – hence the registration in his name.
I’ve drawn a blank so far with the CELTIC electroplated rim band.
Does anyone know who the manufacturer of this Barnett-registered was? – Bagley of Knottingley was less than 20 miles away from the Barnett company office in Leeds, after all.
Does anyone know more about the Jack L. Barnett business, particularly any own-brand glassware, and any brand name/s it might have been marketed under?
Fred.
