Apologies about the registration date - the mark is indistinct, I thought it was an 11. When I looked up the date it was the 18th but I wrote the 11th...
While we are on this kind of glass can anyone identify this:
It is 5" (12.5cm) tall, white marbling on a black (very dense violet) base. Top is ground as per the Sowerby pieces, kind of leaf pattern which is very difficult to photograph. I thought it might be a Sowerby piece but it is not marked and I have not seen the pattern before. The design and crispness of the moulding does not 'look' like Sowerby to me. The metal has a few pieces of white 'grit', probably picked up when the two colours were marvered together.
Did any other glass houses produce this kind of glass, any other ideas?
Mike, sorry to hijack your post
