Thank-you Bernard and Pamela for all your help and information.
Bernard, I have sent you an e-mail so please let me know if there are any further measurements or photographs you would like.
Cheers

Meegs — No need, I've passed on all the information I can.

Note that I would be happy to sell the set as Sowerby, as I can't find anything about the bowl that excludes Sowerby.   The possibility of a commissioned plinth from a Continental manufacturer is real but extremely small, as I've yet to find a proven example.   Hopefully one day we will find out what was happening in the 1930s with the apparently identical Bagley and Walther plinths, but at present that one remains something of a a mystery.

It's now up to you or someone else to check Glen's Sowerby CDs.

Just one more item of information.   Sowerby special plinths usually have the same pattern number as what they gazunder.   But not always.   Sometimes it's the next number, most usually the one after.   But sometimes item and gazunder pattern numbers have a large gap.   So the most likely number for your bowl is 2610, then 2609, then everthing else.

That's definitely all.

Hello
I received the same set in green from my friend in Holland yesterday with the same plinth.
The green is definately what I would call a Sowerby green,just like the squirrels bowl or the Layde pot.

A green one of these sold on ebay Australia a few days ago as well. No plinth though unfortunately.

Hi there
Yes I saw that one advertised as Walther.
My lovely friend in Holland purchased this on my behalf and it came with the plinth.
This one I have was selling in Holland.

There was also a green one for sale on New Zealand's trade-me site a few months ago (no plinth) but it failed to meet reserve and I haven't seen it listed since...
