Hi Paul, I was meaning to volunteer to start such a thread as I have photos of several (but not all) of the less well documented designs and variants.

I'll look through and see what I have then get the thread going by the end of the week.

Best wishes,

Steven

ah, me being thick, again  -  sorry I didn't cotton on.            I really don't see the slightest problem with us working in tandem  -  your contributions will complete work that I'm entirely unable to help with.             Please go ahead :)

Presently I have images of another c. thirty Registered designs to up-load - just a case of finding the time to edit and re-size etc.

Regs. Nos. 792167 and 792168 - two designs for bowls and both first Registered on 21st April 1934.         For whatever reason Board of Trade design protection appears not to have been extended beyond the initial period of five years, and both expired on 21st April 1939.          In fact almost all designs Registered from April 1934 onward appear to lack any protection beyond the initial five year period - possibly WW II may have been the reason, as many factories were seconded for production of war related products. 

To precis some of the Baker & Crowe text - which is mostly very obvious anyway when you look at the opalescent designs especially, the nod toward Lalique was a deliberate decision taken by Jobling, since French opalescent glass was very successful commercially at home and in the U.K.
Other factories from the 1920s and '30s such as Etling and Sabino were also producing the stuff, and there's no doubting that opalescent pressed glass was one of those art deco successes that remains popular after all these years.

Nos. 794903 and 794904 first Registered on 21st July 1934, with expiry on 31st July 1939  -  the factory Registered six new designs on this date - and these are the first two of this group.            Baker & Crowe indicate that plaster models for these first two designs in the group were made by M. Etienne Frankhauser.

Registration 794903 - bird and corn vase  -  Jobling catalogue No. B3

Registration 794904 - fish vase                -  Jobling catalogue No. B2

There are three pix for each of these two Registrations, so the last two pix will be extended over to the next post.

Two more designs from 21st July 1934, and again both were made originally as plaster models by M. Etienne Frankhauser, and both had a design protection of only five years.                  No idea as to quantity made of any designs  -  as Steven commented recently some models are very rare - others such as fir cone bowls for example, seem to be reasonably common so must assume those made in greater quantity.

Hi Paul and Steven,

With my Moderator hat on, my view about separate threads for Registered and Unregistered designs is that separate threads will be the simplest way to go. We (Mods) could also at a convenient time promote the two threads to "Sticky Status" and add a brief note for cross-referencing if needed.

But I will ask the "boss Mod" if she concurs.  ;D

here are the final two designs from 21st July 1934 - original plaster models made by M. Etienne Frankhauser, and BoT protection for five years.

Reg. 794907 -  bird and panel vase (the bird appears less than easy to see in the photograph)  -  Jobling catalogue No. 11400.

Reg. 794908 -  oval jardiniere  -  Jobling catalogue No. 11100.

In fact I've decided to carry both pix for 794908 over to the next entry  -  saves splitting the images over two posts.

the next date for Jobling Registrations was 8th August 1934 when they submitted four new designs to the BoT,, two of which now follow, and according to Baker & Crowe neither was connected to M. Etienne Frankhauser in the way of a plaster prototype model.          Both Registrations expired on 8th August 1939.

Both are described as salt cellars, and the original factory photograph held at Kew appears to show that both designs were made in 'Opalique', which doesn't photograph any easier now than it did in 1934.

Reg. 795460 - hart salt cellar - Jobling catalogue No. 10610   I
It's either the poor quality of the original photo or my lack of skills, but very difficult to see the outline of the hart (apparently an archaic English word to describe a fully mature stag).         
Perhaps if anyone has an example it will be very useful to add a better quality photo here. :)
