A Davidson Glass question

<< < (6/6)

mrvaselineglass:
Davidson called it 1891 SUITE.  The Americans call it LADY CAROLINE.  There has been no Rd. number discovered for this series.

Adam:  If you are looking for a good book on vaseline glass OR on Davidson glass, may I be so bold as to recommend mine?  It currently shows more DAVIDSON PRIMROSE PEARLINE in color photos than any other book ever published.  I currently don't have any for sale, but they can be found on ebay.  There is also a chapter on Davidson in the book.

VASELINE GLASS: CANARY TO CONTEMPORARY
Just put that in your ebay search engine and you can find a copy.  There are usually a couple on ebay every week.

Here is a link to an independent review of my book (honest, I did not pay her a thing to write this!)

Hi,
  David555's piece is most definately not the 1891 suite. It is a No. 243 basket and was introduced around 1890-1891. The 1891 suite was Davidson's hobnail design (RD 153858, August 1890). For many of the Davidson yearly suites, the design was registered in either August or September of the previous year.

May I recommend our book on Davidson called Davidson Glass a history. It is a detailed history of Davidson from 1867 to 1987. Details can be found at www.cloudglass.com.

We will also be publishing a comprehensive Davidson identification guide later this year.

Regards

Chris

Dave — I can only back up what Chris says.   Stewart & Stewart is a superb work, and I regard it as the definitive reference on Davidson.    Indeed I would go so far as to suggest that any historian of British glass who is not familiar with the book is at risk of becoming out of date very quickly.    Same applies to Reynolds and Timberlake, except that Chris and Val have included a wealth of material that gives great insight into into the industry as a whole.

You may have noticed that I referenced Stewart & Stewart twice in a recent contribution to the Lillicrap hone topic, on the two subjects speed of production and taxation.

David555:
Thanks Dave, Chris and Bernard

I think I shall buy both of your books - I have long shelves waiting - Bernard, as always I take your recommendations on board, I will be looking for Stewart & Stewart / Reynolds and Timberlake on Amazon and Bookfinder.Com
