Gray-Stan lidded dish

(1/4) > >>

Emu:
Hello,
I wonder if anyone knows anything about this dish. We went to an auction a few years ago and bought a box of glasses for our own use ( wine, beer, brandy,tumblers etc) and this dish was in amongst them. It is grey on the outside and white on the inside. It is in perfect condition considering the way it was just chucked under the drinking glasses in a big cardboard box.

I think it dates from the 1920s to 1930s .

Any more info would be much appreciated.

Thanks everyone. :)

oh I forgot to post pic of signature...
Here it is..

Hi, there's a little more information on the board on Gray-Stan or Graystan glass and I know Nigel has some info on his site if you google Graystan or Gray Stan or Gray-Stan, or even Graydon-Stannus I think.
Whichever, your bowl is quite rare as far as I know but Nigel may have more to add on it if he sees this thread.
It was produced iirc around the late 1920's early 1930's (no time to look up specifics at the moment).
The glasshouse was very short lived but did make imho, some gorgeous pieces of glass :)

Paul S.:
is it possible please to post larger format pictures with better resolution  -  if you can re-size so that the first dimension is 700 then this will be very useful.       thanks.
Regret I wouldn't know if this was Gray-Stan or not, but the shape is probably that of a powder bowl  -  there is something very similar in Dodsworth's 'British Glass Between the Wars' - page 43.                  It seems that Gray-Stan pieces do occur as colour cased over white, with a further final clear casing  -  it might help to know if this piece has a clear outer casing. 

Are you there Nigel :)

chopin-liszt:
It is marked, Paul, and it certainly looks right for Grey-Stan.
I've not seen any in monotone before - not that I've seen much at all.
