Victorian Pressed Flint Glass Compote.

Dear Everyone at the Glass Message Board. I have recently found a large oval dish which has the same pattern as The Oxford Tea Party compote. At first i thought that the outside of this dish was badly scratched for some reason. On closer inspection it turns out to be somewhat pitted all over. Something to do with the manufacturing process. I think at the time that these items where made. That they must have had problems making large items such as this dish. The only scratched area seems to be inside. Which probably made me think that this item bas badly scratched. I will be posting photos of this oval dish at some point shortly. Regards Traditional Jazz.

Dear Everyone at the Glass Message Board, Yet more developments this this glass saga. I have recently been through the design regestrations in the hope that there might be something there. There are two patterns which seemed to match. One is by Edward Bolton and the other is James Couper. This will take a while to sort out the most likely candidcate????. Also shortly i will be posting photos of the oval dish. Regards Traditional Jazz.

I'm not sure Couper made pressed glass.

Dear Lustrosstone, Thank you for your reply again and comment. Couper did a pressed glass design as i have seen the drawing with my own eyes. This will take about a week to sort this out. Which by than i will have more details to add about couper and bolton and a possible identification for the pressed flint glass discussed here. Regards Traditional Jazz.
