  I feel very fortunate to have come across it. To my knowledge a one of a kind piece. The engraving makes it quite special. Good eye "m".

Report in the Pottery and Glass Trades' Journal from June 1879 intimating that Mr O'Fallon had 'recently' joined Messrs. Webb:
https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Pottery_Glass_Trades_Journal/hyUGAAAAQAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=glass+Davenport+Fleet-street&pg=RA1-PA197&printsec=frontcover

Not entirely sure how many journals are printed in this online version but this is page 96 under June 1879.

So I'd say the date of this jug is still in question, or the designer:

Glass / Re: Amethyst, mould blown bowl.
« Last post by essi on Yesterday at 08:17:40 PM »
Thanks for the pictures of the bowl and the footed bowl, such strong similarities with my bowl.
Cagney, you must have an encyclopedic mind when it comes to recalling images you have seen.
I wonder if the bowls are US produced or European?.
To my eye it seems the bubble was blown into the mould but then hot worked.
I say this because the diamonds in the pattern seem to be slightly  elongated in the middle and compressed at the base.
This is just pure conjecture.
Ekimp the mould lines in all directions seem rather strong and i cant see any evidence of that nipping process.
Thanks again,
Tim

Couldn’t see anything in McConnell’s Decanter, I thought it might be continental.

It would make a difference if the bowl is actually diamond moulded or nipt-diamonds. With nipt-diamonds there are vertical moulded ribs that are then pinched together with tongs to create the diamonds. The Powell ones in Jackson are called moulded diamonds so presumably the diamond shape for those was in the mould?

I’ve never handled one but there might be signs of where the ribs are ‘nipt’ together on the nipt-diamond versions.

British Glass was the first place I looked, not had much chance to do any serious research, other non glass things getting in the way !
