Topic: pressed boat with ribbed base.

[Paul S.]

thanks for the suggestion Ivo - in fact I'm a big fan of ice cream, always have been - just a great shame that it's fattening.

The ice cream connection may well be possible, so will keep it in mind.

Thank you, Paul, for TNA design representations of the Jane Webb & Joseph Hammond RDs 268883 and 268884.

They are a significant addition to the available images of pieces registered by Joseph Webb (and later by Jane Webb and others acting as his executors), Coalbourn Hill glassworks, Wordsley. ( I seem to recall that the drawing of clinkered boat in the Thompson Supplement was a pretty poor attempt at sketching TNA representation).

I have never seen actual examples or photos of examples from either of these two RDs.

Some more  pieces from earlier Joseph Webb registered designs have already been discussed on the GMB at

Just for reference, photos of a Jane Webb & Joseph Hammond… RD 268883 boat-shaped flower trough. ‘Clinker-built’ sides and base (frosted externally), top edge without rowlocks, a plain base, and registry date lozenge embossed on exterior of the stern.
