Topic: George Davidson pattern 51 vase in orange cloud glass.

Hi Chris

 A really nice pair ...beautiful colour and trails ...... the reason for the slight difference in dimensions is that many of the Davidsons designs came out of the mould straight and then had the rims turned down by hand......on some of the bowls the difference can be quite dramatic..... Over the years I have seen them in every colour except topaz/briar ....imho the post war orange versions really did not work...no subtlety ...... cheers Gareth

Hi again Chris  .... Here is an example of what I was saying.... this is a bowl from the 1910 series but not one you will find in any of the catalogues....  from here it would have been shaped either flared, rolled over or cupped inwards..... excuse my descriptions but anno domini again has robbed me of my memory search and the correct terms.....they are in there somewhere but I'm sure you get the gist of what I'm rattling on about .....
