I've never seen that preserve container David...well done!  Totally different from anything I've seen before.   :shock:

Escher vase arrived in perfect condition, I'll get a pic soon off to you.  I think you've got one though?  It's 10" across the top!   :shock:   Another hanky dust collector.  :x  :wink:

Hi

I have not looked into this excellent thread for a few weeks

I have to congratulate David on his website, it is now so accessible and informative - I can't see any lover of British glass passing it by.

This has probably been covered, but I will add anyway.

A 1970s oblong ‘Sovereign Rose’ pattern dish (label) complete in box with compartment for a utensil - the compartment nicely made from same cross hatched pattern cardboard as rest of box

'Sheffield Steel' (reads) long pronged (three) sweetmeat fork with plastic 'Mother of Pearl' handle



Dish 11cm x 14.5cm
Fork 15.5cm long


Thanks

Thanks Adam, the pattern has been IDed, but not that shape associated with the floral design. The included fork is not terribly common and I believe it was a later (after 1975?) addition to the range.

accusable and informative

What am I being accused of?  :wink:

I was dead chuffed to see my photo on a real website, thank you David.

No problem at all – that's the easy part :wink:

... the hardest part is identifying patterns :roll:

Sue kindly sent down three plates; Grey Dawn (easy: it doesn't have a pattern ), Thistle (ooh, look, thistles round the edge!) and another that's really hacked me off! Sue suggested 'Lotus', but I'm not sure.

:

A standard Sandwich Tray, gilt edged with a very Oriental feel. Suggested as 'Lotus', except this might clash with another pattern — the Lotus currently associated with the Boots archive, although this is also not positively identified but the Modernist feel does fit more comfortably. This tray does exhibit some age: whether this is from use, or true age is hard to say, but the Tray is the earlier 'square' cornered style that does suggest 1960s and therefore probably not consistent with Boots' archives, c.1973.

Thistles can be seen on the Floral page. Any suggestions to this new submission?

Camillias....Peony?  Perhaps?  Emmi (very nice whatever they are)

[Anne E.B.]

How about crysthanthemum - doesn't this motif appear in oriental designs? It has an oriental feel about it.

Camillias....Peony?  Perhaps?  Emmi (very nice whatever they are)

Could be Peony or Crysthanemum I suppose. Very hard to say for sure as it is somewhat stylised. It could also be an experimental pattern? The reason I say this is that the transfer is not as uniform on the reverse.

Just trying some better photos – bit of a devil to photo to be honest! :twisted:

[David E]

A better photo of the 'Lotus' pattern. As you can see the transfer is not in great shape and is flaking at a few points. But because of the pattern you can't tell from a distance  :wink:

I'm linking to this in case this one hasn't been seen before...I've seen so many designs now, I can't think straight! lol

Hi Max,

It's a Fiesta Glass 'Wild Rose' pattern. Yup, I'm going pretty boss-eyes too! :roll:
