Topic: Davidson (269 Blackberry prunts) - help needed please

[pamela]

Glen, thank you, very interesting! Mine is 5 kilometres far from here, but from the photo I would guess 7 prunts

haven't got a centrepiece like that of your friend, I'm afraid

Chris, did you not know that we (collectors in Germany) count the sablé and dots of these patterns f.e.:

... and many more: and none is like the other

Here is a link to a comport in Davidson 269 not the same as your friends but it may be of some help to you.

I only have a few moments to write, but I simply have to say a quick thank you to Pamela and Tony H for their input. More later - I just wanted to acknowledge and thank all those who have been kind enough to help.

I have quite a large bowl in this pattern, counted the points on the prunts and there are seven! Will post a pic later if you like, batteries just gone on camera, (cross eyed now anyway!)

[Glen]

Thanks Gill - and yes, if you have the time to take a pic (when you're less cross eyed) that would be wonderful.

I’m not very enthusiastic about pressed glass to be honest but bought one of these today as it had a label and was only £1.50.

It is Davidson blackberry prunt design 269 as far as I can see, the design that is the subject of this topic.

Regarding the number of points making up the prunts, looking online and the links on here, most of these designs have seven points around a larger central disk. For example, see reply 6 here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,28572.msg155205.html . I assume this is the style most people are talking about when they say there are seven points to the prunt.

But, the drawing of the design from the 1928 catalogue looks to have just six points around a central point: https://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?album=1013&pos=617

Then my bowl has a combination. Some prunts have six points around a central point and some have only five points around a central point.

It seems there is some variation in genuine Davidson designs, maybe this has been resolved, am I missing something? The continuation of this topic here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,9296.msg78813.html seems to suggest the items with the wrong number of points per prunt are Chinese reproductions. Unfortunately the links in that are dead. Confusing!
