Topic: Does anyone recognise any of these?

[Leni]

Well, I spent some time yesterday photographing my dressing table jars and looking up hallmarks, so I hope this helps, Tabatha.

And thank you Anne, I have at last ditched tinypic and ventured to use yobunny!   Aren't I brave? :roll: :lol:

This hobnail pattern one (7.5 x 6.5 cm) has a very 'nouveau' image of flowers - poppies, I think - on the lid.  It is dated 1905 by the hallmark.  http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1109  This is pressed glass.  You will see that the glass is very 'yellowish'.

This smaller one (3.5 x 3 cm) is dated 1892  http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1110  It is cut glass, much clearer in colour than the previous one.  The lid has a 'Green Man' image, with leaves, birds, etc.  

Here's another little (4 x 3.5 cm) Green Man jar, this time dated 1893 http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1113  This one is not hobnail.  Pressed glass again, but not so yellow as the 1905 jar.

Here's a Green Man bottle (8 x 5 cm).  This is a cut hobnail pattern and the hallmark is for 1892 also.  http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1114

Finally, this one (7.5 X 7 cm) is a cut glass jar which is not hobnail, but has some hobnails in the panels  :roll:   It has a plain silver lid with a circle containing tiny leaves around the edge, but the hallmark is sadly unreadable  http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-1115

Not sure if any of this helps you to identify your jar, but I think it's clear it is a lidless dressing table jar.  Would you agree?   :wink:

Well done Leni!  It wasn't too scary was it?  

Nice pots as well.

Well done Leni!  It wasn't too scary was it?  

Well, I'm a bit of a technophobe, so it was a bit scary!  :shock:  :oops:  :roll:  But I even started an album of my 'triffids'!  

I wonder if any of the hobnail jars in this thread might link to the 'Percival or Davidson hobnail pattern' thread?    :shock:  :?  Should we split it and link up?  I have no idea which of the glasshouses made dressing table jars!     :shock:  :roll:

Tabatha, if you're still around, could you restore the photos please as they've all vanished now. You can add them directly to the board now (which we couldn't when you posted originally) or email them to me and I'll add them and sort the dead links out. Thanks.
