No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Confirmed as Sowerby, pictured in the 1936 Pottery Gazette advert on Glen Thistlewood's Sowerby's Ellison Glass Works Vol 2, George V to Elizabeth II, CD. Described in the Pottery Gazette article as the "Primrose" flower center - a combination of posy ring and flower [holder] centre.

I had an inkling it could be Sowerby from the flower block but needed to see it's underside to compare with mine. Would you humour me please and post a picture when you've taken the flowers out. I'm working on a theory about another item

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

The back... for what it looks likeLOL
Sorry it took me a little while, the camera is playing up. if you need a different shot? let me know.
sorry I can't put a shot up with flowers atm, I had put some bromiliad flowers in, but they did not keep well. Oh well. When the kangaroo paw is in full flower I'll post a pic, but can you tell me, suggest  what sort of flowers would look best?
