Not sure if this has been seen before, 2nd Gammon piece in a week the other the pickle jar.

It measures 5 1/4 inches in height, 5 1/2 inches acoss the rim. A definate lead crystal bell like ring for such thick glass.

The base is polished flat.

Thank you for showing this, Chris. Its by Thomas Gammon, Birmingham, RD 62918, registered 12 Oct 1849 - Parcel 6.

I don't think we've seen the sugar bowl in this pattern before, but we have seen the pickle jar and two different shapes of rummer, all based on the original design registration for a decorative pattern for the ornamentation of a tumbler.

Fred.
