Heidimin:
Have you seen this Ravenhead ad on the BH website: http://www.dudley.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/museums--galleries/glass-museum/information/archives. Unfortunately it's not dated (except that being Ravenhead it must be 1964 or later), which is a pity, as it seems to mark the introduction of the "chunkie" shape (which personally I don't like as much as the other three main ones). It also seems to have names for the four patterns illustrated - but unfortunately the picture quality isn't good enough to read them, even when I blow the image up really large.
Talking of shapes, I don't think I've ever seen "tot" or "toddy" glasses attributed to either Sherdley or Ravenhead - apart from the one shown in the Cambridge Glass Fair feature. Maybe they didn't sell very well? Or were a late addition to the range and therefore not produced in large numbers? Or maybe it's just that they all got busted at wild 60s parties?
Max:
Here you go Heidi. :wink:

Heidimin:
Thanks, Max- I stand corrected! Actually, I have seen this design before, just never with packaging.
I must figure out how to use my digital camera, then I can start posting pics of the designs I have.

Noooo, you don't stand corrected, you were enquiring! It was just happenstance (is that a word??) that I'd received these about 10 days ago. Happy to help. :D
