Hi All,
Yes, as everyone has said this is a davidson 1907 comport. Normally the large bowls, comports and dishes have a fan design around edge - something which is missing from the smaller 1907TD flower bowls. I guess with this comport they decided to leave out the fan design as it would look odd with the wavy edge.
You don't often see the bowls, dishes and comports in this pattern. Mostly it is the 1907T and TD flower bowls that have survived.
Personally I like the these old dishes and comports - we use them all the time. We have a large 11" 1910 dish which is perfect for trifles. No 20 and 21 bowls also make great salad bowls. And you cannot beat a two tier polished black glass cake stand for making cakes look irresistible.
One of the photographs for our next Davidson book includes one of these cake stands. Val wanted to 'decorate' them with some knitted cakes (yes - you can buy knitted cakes!), but good taste won out !!
Regards
Chris
