Sorry about the seven year delay.  :-\ Here are a couple of photos of an incomplete set that I have in blue and a uranium green one that clearly shows both trays. It looks like they made it in clear as well ( no tray though) - picture quality is meh because I had to shrink them so much ( feel free to use any of these photos if you wish )

Tried to respond to this yesterday, but I think I hit a technical glitch so if you are reading this twice, my apologies. I came upon this set recently in a few different colours - including blue. Despite the design, the blue is so different from the blue Sowerby used on its dressing table sets. Also the uranium green is much darker than the typical bright uranium colour that Sowerby used - the photo I'm posting shows uranium green fry mystery 109. You are welcome to use these photos if you find them at all useful

Hi Walden, welcome to the board, and thank you for your super photos and for allowing us to use them in the trinket set project website.  I'm still hunting to find a maker of this set but no luck so far... I'm not giving up though!
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Btw. Here is a photo of the mystery 109 tray beside the Sowerby Sunray tray. I should have used the same colour for a better contrast, in case anyone is curious to see how similar they are. Permission to use this photo if you find it at all useful

Thank you Walden, that is interesting, and it shows how strongly similar they are.

I think this has been discussed before, Pamela has the tray listed as Sowerby but with no definite attribution. I can't link it individually but it's in this section.

Thanks Nev, I've seen nothing to support the claim for Sowerby so far, other than the similarity of design, so I'd not rely on Pamela's cataloguing as she may also have worked on design similarity. Until we find catalogue evidence it remains a mystery maker.
