A Davidson Glass question
Anne:
Ahhhh I see, thanks Dave. I'll keep my eyes open for one so I can inspect it closely. :)
Lustrousstone:
The bases like Dave's are also glued with a sort of Polyfilla looking stuff to stop them moving, that has usually started to deteriorate by now, so you have to be careful. I have a sugar bowl with this sort of base and my lampshade bowl has its rim polyfillaed as well.
I also don't think they have been reproduced, as Dave says they made this pattern for 40 years. That's lots of bowls. You have to admit the girly pink version could be Laura Ashley!
Adam:
We made many, many thousands of this pattern at Davidsons so it is not surprising that there are still plenty around.
I've written about metal fittings more than once here but offhand I can't remember where.

OK, I got the dish in the mail today. The EPNS base is just wedged on the bottom. It does not appear to be glued or cemented. The other one I have without the base does not have a bottom snap ring that goes inward towards the center. This one appears to be the same. It is just firmly on there. I am not going to try to remove it. I took it outside so it would be in more natural light. Here is a pic.

I hope your dragon is tame!! He wouldn't like it here - far too wet and windy! Your bowl is the big one, I'd assumed it was the individual size from the original photo! It's lovely,.
