John - where can you look to find makers for RD numbers?  Thanks Cat

johnfandmaryp:
Hi Cat,

There's a list of Registered Numbers and their makers on the Great Glass website at http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/regnos.htm

Very useful!

John - BRILLIANT.  Have identified my glass nappy as George Davidson registered 18/9/09.  Now I can get to the next stage much more easily.  Thanks you Cat

The stars look right for 'Startime' but not sure about the base ~ it looks a bit heavier than the stemware, but maybe it would have to be because of the shape of the bowl.

When I have this sort of thing to list, I usually call them grapefruit or sundae dishes, assuming they're the right size. I have three Stuart grapefruit dishes listed at the moment which are not marked as 'Stuart' but I tracked them down by the Rd. Number etched on the base.

Sorry I can't help more, John.

Many thanks John, and all who replied.  :) The base of these is heavier than the stemware, but seems identical to the base of the Startime tumbler in Andy McConnell's "20th Century Glass". It was the lack of a logo that was worrying me, as Andy McC reckons that the logo was acid etched onto all pieces from 1930 onwards, and the Startime pattern was introduced in 1935.

Grapefruit dishes might be the best description for them. They are ever so pretty and if I don't list them soon they'll be going in my groaning glassware cupboard!  :) They'll be on the Bay this week.

Roz

Good luck Roz!  :)
And well done Cat ~ told you it was useful! ;)
