Topic: Jobling designs

[Keencollector]

When I purchased this uranium bowl I was told but it was Jobling.  Sellers were glass dealers who had in the past had a large collection of Jobling.  I thought they would have identified it correctly but now I doubt that as looking at the Jobling designs on GMB it differs from Rd. no.824210.  It is marked British Make no Rd.No.  I would appreciate members thoughts on identification.

I'll have a go. 
Bagley; Salisbury pattern?

The maker has not determined as of yet as far as I know. This pattern and a related one (same dimensions but a flower and leaf pattern) do turn up occasionally. All I've seen have the 'British Make' mark. Despite the stylistic similarities, I think they are most likely not Jobling. The font of the 'British Make' text does not match that seen on the 2077 and 1054 bowls, the green colour is not a match either (noticeably bluer). Also, if this were Jobling, it would fit more with the art glass range bowls introduced 1932-33; however, the 'British Make' mark is earlier and only features on those designs whose introduction preceded the launch of the art glass range as far as I'm aware.

There's also the possibility that these aren't even British. Spurious country of origin marks are not unknown on pressed glass of this era.
