Topic: Royal Brierley new addition, for show.

[catshome]

Both the pink and the plain white in the first picture are pieces I wouldn't have associated with Royal Brierley.  I have had some of their gorgeous lustre pieces, some crystal tableware, and I think a pink vase with white feathered design.  Will keep my eyes open for a chevron vase, and if anything turns up in one of the boxes I am working my way through I will add it here.

Lovely collection Keith

Did they ever produce a patternbook/catalogue?

There are a few but hard to find, you can sometimes find brochures showing the range in the original box and Charles Hajdamach sent me a brochure showing their table lamp range. Never seen a pattern book, none in the archives, the Stevens & Williams family have a lot of stuff, I did have David Williams- Thomas's email and wanted to ask him but his account got hacked and is no longer available, so I trawl the internet hopelessly

Keith, do you think the British glass foundation would forward an email, or letter, to him?

That's a good idea Mark, I'm a member of the Glass Association, maybe they could help also

Took me way too long to figure out who "mark" is 😹😹😹

Sorry I just noticed the name at the bottom and presumed without thinking

No pressure Keith!  Hope this is at least interesting enough to warrant space on this thread - I haven't been able to find much in this colourway......even in the pictures of your collection!  I think it's John who has a bowl that looks similar.  There are a few  broken surface bubbles - similar to those on your 5" black piece, which appears to be the same shape as this one.

A shade over 7" high x 7" diameter, and weighs a hefty 1636g (almost 3lb 10oz).  Very hard to describe the colour as it changes in different light from a pale silvery blue to a deep lavender blue - hoping to find out what the official name for this colour would be.  Flat, cut and polished rim.

a few more pics - a couple of the mark in case it can help with dating.  The bottom pic shows how much the colour varies, as its taken while it was sitting next to me on the sofa in daylight.
