You will find details of this in Jenny Thompson, The Identification of English Pressed Glass 1842-1908 ISBN 0 9515491 0 3

Page 12 and 13 Greener, there should be three numbers.

Reg No96775 27 March 1888 Rustic handle Reg No95935 16 Mach 1888 Glass pattern and 98551 21 April 1888, I have read (not sure where ) that this was a trade sample to show what Greener made.

Post by: Anne on September 15, 2007, 06:21:49 PM: I just happened to find an example of RD no 98551 today, but it's not the plate or the basket I've seen on other sites or on eBay, but this is a footed bowl. I'm adding pics here for reference in case it's useful to anyone. 8)
