British & Irish Glass / Re: John Davenport Glass elephant foot piano rest? Newman Dictionary of Glass

looking at your link m, it seems the Davenport dynasty ceased in 1887, so wouldn't have given them much time to beat the Debyshire registration of1884 (my copy of Newman shows c. 1874, and not the 1884 you mention).
Just for the record I've looked through all of the pressed Registrations from 1868 to 1874, but can't see any mention of Davenport. Does anyone know if Davenport ever registered any designs??
Could well be an error by Newman.

I expect one of the pressed experts will have the answer for you.

Hello.
Did you know allcaps is the internet equivalent of shouting?
Having said that, welcome to the board. Your glass was made by Polish company KROSNO and dates from anytime 1990-2005 - so quite recent.

thanks to both - I get the impression that as David didn't record this slightly smaller size, then maybe it's a tad rarer (and I'm a big fan of rare things). In pursuit of the act of thinning out in order to make room for those things for which I feel more affection, I stopped collecting Chance some year or more ago, and now have only a couple of Yasmin plates plus this bowl.
I suppose always worth keeping the eye in on these sort of pieces just in case one day I come across a Baxter designed flashed ruby one that Chance did, which must be worth more, surely.
