Dear malwodyn, Thank you for your reply. Yes i forgot about this. This is a glass plate which has the portrait of Queen Victoria and the date 1837 which is illustrated in some books. Regards Tradional Jazz.

Dear Everyone at the Glass Message Board, I have recently found a pressed glass plate which has some of the motifs found on the American Pressed Glass Plate of Queen Victoria and the date 1837. The plate is about 10 inches in diameter and seems to date from around the same period as the above mentioned glass plate and seems to have been manufactured by the Boston and Sandwich company. Also aquired what looks like a very large salt cellar or sugar bowl which has a similar pattern as certain Boston and Sandwich pressed glass of 1840?-1860 period. Which seems to fit in with the above mentioned compote. The sad thing is that there seems to be no information on early pressed glass that was made in england of the probably sometime before 1840 till 1860 period.  Regards TraditionalJazz.

As I said earlier, if you would post some photos of the pieces you'd like to know more about then someone may be able to give you more information. Without images we are working blind, and given the vast amount of different makers and patterns we have no way of which ones you're referring to. If you want us to help you'll have to supply photos.

Dear Anne, Thank you for your reply and comments. I am sorry that i can not post photos here at the moment. Altough i do have a digital camera for some reason i can not download photos from the camera. I will probably have to do it via a cd disc. Also i will read the instructions that are on this site. So hopefully at some point i will be posting photos on this particular posting. Sorry for not being able to post photos. Regards Traditional Jazz.

It is similar to the American Boston and Sandwich compotes of the same period. Is it possable to see any of the designs of English Pressed Flint Glass Compotes of this period. I have done a search on the web for this item but had no luck.  Did the American Glass Companys such as Boston and Sandwich imported thier glass products into England during this period. Regards TraditionalJazz.

Dear Glass Message Board, I have recently found another compote in the same pattern. Except that this one has a large bowl as in the usal  pressed glass compotes of the victorian era. Also the stem is the same as in the above mentioned compote except it is slightly larger. I have a feeling that the above mentioned compote might be what is called an open sugar bowl. I am sorry about the slight spelling mistakes. Regards Traditional Jazz.
