Lindsey, There seems to be some [unresolved?] confusion generally as to the RD no. of twig-shaped Greener 'rustic handle'.
Jenny Thompson (p15 of 'The Identification of English Pressed Glass 1842-1908') describes Greener & Co.'s RDs 96775/6, both registered on 27 March 1888, as "(Rustic handle)", but without being clear which of the two RDs is the rustic handle design and what the other may be. The only definitive answer would seem to be the what is shown on the original design details and representations themselves (but unfortunately I don't have copies of these to hand).
RDs 95935 and 96776 often occur together on rustic-handled Greener 'baskets ' with 96776 on the handle and 95935 on the body of the basket even though the bodies may have differing patterns.
Thompson describes RD 95935 (registered 16 March 1888) as "Partly imit. cut. Part of pattern included in 98551." [RD 98551 of 21 April 1888 is that complex mish-mash of Japanesque patterns decribed by Thompson simply as "Japanese Influence"].
Way back in 2007, as reply #7 to
https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,9169.msg77765.html#msg77765concerning a glass cake basket (apparently unmarked) with a twig-like rustic handle, Bernard C said :
This is by Greener. Early examples carry the first Greener trademark, a demi-rampant lion rising from a twisted rope, facing left, and carrying a star in its right (upper) paw. According to Thompson, this TM was in use c.1875 to '85. Most examples I have seen do carry this TM, although it can be very worn indeed, and you have to use a lot of detective work to find it!
The handle is a close match to Greener's registered design No. 96775 or 96776 of 27 March 1888, so replacement moulds could carry this number, typically located around one end of the handle, but I've never seen one on this particular pattern. Nevertheless it's a possibility, so I always have a look.
Around this time Greener had a policy of registering parts of designs, and then combining them. Some of their baskets carry as many as three different registration numbers, all well hidden. Many don't find any; some find one and then stop looking. These are great fun and interesting and quite a small collection shows the different ways they combined designs.
