Davidson Glass Q's

(1/2) > >>

JAGofC:
Hi all.  My first time here. I was  sent here by one of the glassies at the Glass Chat board.

I hope you nice folks can tell me if this piece is Davidson's Lords and Ladies  or not.
Here are some pics.

I'm confused because my book shows the rayed star in the center as having 8 points. The one in the pics has only 6.  Is this only a variation to make the pattern fit better or is it something else entirely.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Tony

Hi,
       Does the salver have a registered design number on it (285342)? Normally articles in this pattern do have the design number stamped on the piece – sometimes it can be difficult to find. Incidentally Davidson called this the 1897 suite.

A couple of companies made this pattern as well including Fenner (the Amanda suite) and also Notsjo.

Regards

Chris

Hi Tony, welcome to GMB  :)
May we ask where you are situated please?

Chris is right, but I do not fully agree to Amanda of Fenne: as you may see here the rays of Amanda are more like a wheatsheef pointing to the rim and 'away' from the centre of the base:

I take this opportunity to thank you for your question, I  had to realize that the following is misplaced on my webpage:  :-*

http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/03301.html - it's NOT Amanda and is identical to

http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/03438.html - (7 rays) so far possibly made by German glassworks at Kamenz. None of my plates in this pattern bear a Rd. No.

Another difference imho are the lines between the 16 diamonds: Davidson's and Kamenz?' are slightly curved whereas Fenne's are straight and parallel.

Hello:

To add to Chris's comment above, here is a little creamer in a very similar pattern made by Notsjo of Finland.  And conveniently it is signed!

Do you mean 8?

I think this will depend on the object. The most common flint example of this pattern made by Davidson is a boat shaped posy.  The lines on this are straight as the sides are flat.
