Very Thomas Gammon looking in style with several white seeds, lead ring and light green glow under UV light. Heavy base wear with nicks on the outer exposed edges and a lemon squeezer shaped foot, another recent piece of pressed glass numbered any thoughts?.

A three piece mould, two lines at the front and one at the back through the handle.

A real rough moulding to the touch and very wonky.


5 inches in height 6 inches across spout to handle and 2 1/2 inches across the base,

Regards Chris.

As you say, Chris. ‘Very Thomas Gammon in style’, and I suspect dating to around about the same date (late 1840s, to perhaps even into the 1860s).

The only earlyish British  pressed glass that I know often carries embossed pattern numbers was from  John Derbyshire (see https://sites.google.com/site/molwebbhistory/Home/registered-designs/derbyshires-unregistered-pressed-glass  )
but usually accompanied by their JDanchor trademark (and dating from the 1870s).

The unregistered Molineaux Webb numbered creamer patterns shown at
https://sites.google.com/site/molwebbhistory/Home/registered-designs/molineaux-webb-unregistered-pressed-glass/sugars_creamers
I think date from the 1850s or early 1860s, but the pattern numbers are in the #300s or #400s (with the lowest number being 382), so your creamer could, I suppose, be an undocumented product of this or a similar British glass manufacturer (though the Molineaux Webb pieces don’t normally bear embossed pattern numbers).
