Title: Dozen images from the Molineaux Webb pattern book online
Post by: neilh on December 21, 2015, 06:01:00 PM
Hi folks,

Just noticed that the Manchester Art Gallery has put up some images from the cut glass pattern book on their website:

http://manchesterartgallery.org/collections/search/collection/?id=1977.4

This includes ALL the candlestick images known.

I would be interested to know if this helps anybody id some mystery pieces of mid 19th century glassware - I have found it very difficult to match any surviving pieces up with the pattern book. Various butters, basins and creamers are also shown, mostly quite early.
