Topic: Pressed glass blue greek key sugar bowl and creamer help please.

Any thought's on these would be welcome, the sugar has a lead crystal ping and an opaline look to the glass.

The sugar measures 5 1/2 inches in height with a rim diameter of 5 3/4 inches and the creamer 4 3/4 inches in height.

Regards Chris.

Nice find, and certainly a rarity, especially with sugar AND creamer, but I'm pretty sure that the sugar matches Davidson pattern 196 (shown as a version with cover in the Davidson catalogues of unregistered designs from between 1880 and 1890).

For some reason, there is no uncovered version of the sugar or a creamer shown in the catalogues, though there is a matching pattern 196 salver and a covered butter shown. 

I will try and add some photos from the catalogues for reference tomorrow.

As promised, catalogue illustrations of Davidson pattern 196 covered sugar, salver and covered butter from their catalogues of unregistered designs 1880-1890.

I've just rediscovered this old post of mine
https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,53092.msg301543.html#msg301543
but sadly the photos no longer appear with it. At the moment, I'm also struggling to find the relevant photos files but I will re-post them here if I do come across them.
