GTS mystery set no. 3 - ID = Tynesyde Glass by Sowerby
Jayne:
Paul, this one is a mystery to me also, lovely tray, and sorry for the late reply.
Anne:
I saw a part set in this design in clear peachy pinky colour today and with it was one of these French cog wheel based small decanters which was a spot-on match for colour: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,41939.0.html - Ivo says the decanters are "100% Arques" - so could this point us in the right direction for this set??? Did Arques make trinket sets?
Jayne:
The set has now been found with a Tynesyde label:

I can also confirm I have an amber set with another Tynesyde Label. No photos as yet but hopefully soon.
Jayne:
It seems the maker is still Sowerby

Snippet "In the 1930's the company had new designs (The Tynesyde Glassware series), new mold makers (from Bohemia) and new technology which made good quality glass cheaper"
Jayne:
Identified as Sowerby pattern number 2612
Shown in the 1938 "Tynesyde Glassware - Sowerby's Ellison Glassworks Ltd" catalogue as "2612- Trinket Set 7 pieces. A bright and sparking set, made in Flint (aka Clear), Amber, Blue and Green"
Also in the 1940 Catalogue as "2612 7 pieces. Flint, Amber, Blue, Green and Rosalin (aka Pink). Also Satin finish"
Therefore 10 choices by 1940.
