Topic: Flint glass twin dish - identification? ID = Greener

[Sid]

I am sure that all of these are Greener.  The only difference between the drawing and reality is a minor, but necessary, design improvement.   This dish would have been very awkward to pass without those two handle extensions which allow the thumb and fingers to hold the bowl comfortably.  I suspect the improvement occurred pretty early on and one wonders if it ever got into production using the design in the advertisement.

Here is an image of the Greener 2007 Double Sweet from the 1887 advertising insert to the  Pottery & Glass Gazette.  This is extracted from the original document not a book.

Sid thank you again, I had assumed the same re the design adjustment.

Perhaps the design in the catalogue did not work in reality and the moulds were revised

That's what Barry thought too, Christine.
