Fred  -  I do have the original factory drawing for Rd. 322393, for Henry Greener, and can post here if you don't already have this one.        Let me know pleased.

Thank you, Paul, but you've already supplied the design representation for Henry Greener's RD 322393.

If you're watching Fred ............   I've lost the plot on Angus & Greener discussions   -   do you still need to see the original factory photos for Reg. Nos. 214357 and 214358 or have I posted them previously  ...........   anyway I do have them -  please let me know. :)

Paul, I don't have the Kew photos for either RD 214357 or 214358, so I would appreciate seeing of them, please.

o.k. then, here they are.              I think the subject heading is very apt.

Am sure we've been here before - don't really know why I hadn't shown this previously - but as can be seen, there appears no difference in the moulded pattern of these two separate designs  -  I believe the only difference is in the shape of the stem/pedestal.           Quite why the original factory pix didn't make this clear I've no idea  -  to put one piece on its side thereby obscuring the one feature that shows the difference is a mystery.

Thank you, Paul. I will add the Kew photos to the GMB RD database in due course (with a link to this topic thread).

As you say, confusing - but I assume that the Kew photo for RD 214357 specifically refers to the decorative pattern on the foot only, whereas that for RD 214358 is specifically for the decorative pattern of linked rings above tear-shaped studded loops.

Neither RD would seem to refer to a particular shape as the decorative features on the foot and bowl occur on the RD 214357-358 comport shown in reply #7 of this thread.

am sure you're correct Fred  ..........   see the attached page showing extract from the Board of Trade Register for 1842 - 1884 - for November 1862.
look at lines 7 and 8 on the right side of the book  -  opposite the lines reading  'Wear Flint Glass Works' and 'Sunderland'.       Hope it's legible.
