requesting source for post 1950's Stuart patterns.
« on: July 10, 2011, 04:10:47 PM »
there is a GMB link to many pre 1921 Stuart designs, but just wondered if there is somewhere to view more recent patterns/designs.   This 'dish' shape is probably common to many factories, and was certainly used by Stuart, with this example showing the backstamp from about the mid C20 (Stuart/ENGLAND)  -  although may have been used for many years afterwards (fairly sure it's not the final mark used after the takeovers etc.) - the position of the mark is inaccessable for a camera.      Can't imagine this one has any connection with John Luxton, since most of his designs were geometric mitre cuts (apart from the diamond point pieces - am I correct on this??)    At a pure guess would have thought this one was somewhere in the 1980's.     Anyway, I thought the engraving of fruits was attractive (particularly the strawberries) -  and really hoping someone may know the name of this particular design.     thanks for looking. :)
