Topic: Shell Jug Heppell?

[Simba]

Feeling very pleased with myself for spotting this lovely Shell Jug which I think is Heppell in the Antique Market today

Found the reg mark and picture in Raymond Slacks book Heppell 1881...Fred you can use this for your Reg Mark project

Thank you, Angela.

The registry date lozenge should translate to 6 December 1881 - Parcel 13, corresponding to W.H. Heppell's RD 374437.

The design was presumably for the shell decoration rather than the shape because there is a creamer, sugar and covered butter with the same lozenge. The only other colour I have seen these in has been a somewhat muddy purple marbled glass (which Raymond Slack describes as being the same as Sowerby's brown malachite, though not to my eyes).

Fred.
