Topic: Glass Jelly Moulds - British Made - Who, What, Where, When?

[David E]

I'm trying to determine which of the glass jelly moulds are made by whom. The Bagley ones appear to be:

Round, with six 'balls' on the top, four sizes

Oval, with six balls on the top, two sizes

Rabbit shape in three sizes

Pyrex ones I know little about, but they appear to be marked with the usual 'JAJ' (James A Jobling) and are found on eBay.

However, I know that Chance Bros. made at least one (1 pint, but no other details) and I'm trying to track it down. There may be others in different sizes I would guess. Can anyone help me narrow the gap down? I have come across this style, that's embossed 'British Made', which could likely be one:

Some different ones can be seen on eBay:

This one is very interesting (Reg. No. 803268, Canning Town Glassworks, 30/5/35):

Thanks for looking.

Good luck, you will need it!

ps - I believe it's marked "BRITISH MAKE" - not Made, and all uppercase.

Here are photos of the Canning Town Glassworks RD 803268 (30 May 1935) ‘turtle’ jelly mould in two different sizes. The large one measures7.5x5x3 inches (and seems to correspond to the one shown in the ebay link) and the small one 5.9x4x2.3 inches.

Thanks Bernard.

Bit confused over your conclusions - there are 8 links, so I assume your numbering follows them.

1. There is no mention of the name on this, only 'British Made' - this could be Chance as it was known to mark products as such.
2. Did you mean this (321356902468) to be the Sutherland Brawn one? The 'Berries & Stem' might fit this design.
3. This link shows five moulds. The rear two are definitely Bagley, but what about the three in front?

After this I'm not sure.

David — my eight numbered points are just a list of eight extra points that you might find useful.   They are not linked to your opening post in any way.   My ps was the only link back to your post.

Ah, thanks Bernard.

[Paul S.]

another tortoise mould which I found this morning, and posting just to show the Registration No. details a little more clearly.
I expected to find wear on the rim - but not so, and in fact this example appears to have spent its life resting upside down on the flattened large 'T' on the creatures back.
This one measures about 7.5" long, so appears to correspond to the large size mentioned by Fred.

The ones with 8 balls on top, the ones with rope and anchor - Leerdam 1906.

An oval clear pressed glass jelly mould, 5x4x3 inches. Impressed: Reg No.547034...No. 7317.

(Permission for the re-use of these images on the GMB granted by shannybanger).

RD 547034 was registered by William A Bailey, London, on 4 August 1909.

According to http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/mana-b.htm :
“Bailey, William A, London, England (c 1900 - c 1939)
Described as 'Potter & Glass Manufacturer' in the register of designs (of which he registered 123 from 1903 to 1938)…”

Is this the one you mean that has eight bobbles, Ivo?

Probably not, as I can count nine  It looks like berries on top with leaves down the side. I notice this one attracted 11 bids and 5 different bidders, so it was of some interest.
