Paul,
I agree with Sid, your pictures clearly show that Rd 71736 isn't the same pattern as the daisy & button on my sugar.
Thanks once again for all your help, as always it's very appreciated.
Kind regards
Nick

It does appear that there is a difference between the Kew image and the Daisy and Button design from the Pott. Gaz. and Nick's sugar.

Like Margaret, I'd thought that common sense was indicating that the proximity of the date of Registration for 71736 to the Pott. Gaz. advert (which matches this sugar), was a strong indication that they were one and the same design  -  but it seems not.

During the year in question, there were two other Henry Greener Registrations - 81160 on 15th Sept., and 88120 on the 26th Nov.  ...........  do we know what they looked like??              Am certain I don't presently have pix of either.

RD 81160 of 15 September 1887
Jenny Thompson gives description as ‘pattern of tableglass’. I don’t appear to have a reference photo of any item from the design.

RD  88120 of 26 November
Jenny Thompson gives description as ‘pattern and shape of a dish (centenary)’. The centenary in question was Australia’s Centenary 1788-1888, and various pieces of the commemorative ware in the design have been shown and discussed at

thanks Fred ............ so, it's possible then that the daisy & button was never Registered, or outside chance it might be 81160  -  I will know the answer when next I visit the Archives.
