Sowerby small vase, pattern 1257 – a conundrum

<< < (2/2)

Paul S.:
it does seem possible that Simon Cottle may not have cross-checked the Sowerby pattern book Nos. with The National Archive data  -  it wouldn't have been an issue had he not quoted so many of the Sowerby Factory Nos.

It does seem to appear that authors tend to to favour going in one direction or the other.............either publishing lists of the Archive Rd. Nos., or publishing data of factory pattern Nos.           It would be a very tall order for someone to publish accurate lists of both  simultaneously, and a mammoth task to treat all of the pressed items from 1842 onwards.

Oh to be 45 years younger and live only a stone's throw from Kew (whilst still having enough money not to need to work, and no family committments, of course)!

So much to do and so little time...

Now where's my extended edition of the Big Book of Cliches gone?

Right then ... onwards and upwards.

Fred.
