Title: Trinket set powder bowl in green glass with metal lid - Regent of London
Post by: Anne on November 01, 2009, 07:06:17 PM
The other pot with the lid insert is this one... different pot and lid, but style of lid matches the one Dirk found on eBay, and the glass on the eBay one matches the glass in my original pot at the top of this topic.  This one is also an unknown and is a darker green than the first one.

The second one certainly looks like a "Regent of London" pot, very nice too!

Jayne, please tell me about Regent of London. I can't bring them to mind...

I think the style of lid decoration on the second one is what's called Guilloché?

Anne, I don't know much apart from an Ebay search brings up loads of vanity items, sets including pots like your last one, and hairbrush/mirror type sets, often beautifully boxed and vintage, presumably made in London, seemingly very nicely made, and of varying qualities and prices.

Often the green pots with the guilloche (enamelling? which can be real or fake?) or tapestry lids or even pink guilloche are not listed as Regent of London but I've seen some that are, and I assume some sellers don't know what they are selling. There are also sets with candlesticks and trays, made of a metal frame with maybe a glass insert over the tapestry or material? Guilloche jar search bring up pots also.

I suspect Regent of London is nothing more than a brand name and that its products were made all over by many companies and that it may not have had exclusive rights to all the things it branded.

Post by: shereea1 on June 17, 2013, 08:22:40 AM
I have 2 of the darker ones.  Mine have the same patterned lids on them (mirrored on the inside of lid), as your ones pictured here.  My lids are a very dull silver with the exact same pattern as shown here in your pics above.  Only issue with mine is; the pattern on the lids appears to be slightly smudged in places. 
On close examination the pattern appears that it may be some kind of a paper foil???
On the base of each jar it reads; Made in England.
I can't say for sure, but when I purchased these on ebay (approx. 8 yrs ago), something is telling me the item description stated that these are "Bagley" items????
Anyone have any positive info on these, I'd also be greatful to hear your comment.

Regards,

Sheree.

Correction, when I mentioned tapestry, I should have said petit point.

Here is a green glass bottle in a similar style to your last pot Anne, one pic shows Made in England stamped on the bottom, I have seen these bottles with a guilloche lid too.

Hi Jayne,

I'm new to all this, so please excuse my lack of technical knowledge. :-[
I have tried to post some pics for you, showing the "Made In England" on the bottom of the bowls, but it tells me my files are too big.  Even tried to post the pics individually, still to no avail.... :'(

If you can give me your email address, I can email you the pics Jayne, & maybe you can do something with them. ;)

Cheers!

Sheree.

Anne & Jayne,

I'm sorry about that Anne.
 
I just got Jaynes email she sent me yesterday, so I have managed to shoot them across to her.  Looking forward to seeing the pics up here Jayne.

Jayne, if you have issues with them, would you mind passing the pics on to Anne?

Thank you to both you wonderful ladies, your help is very much appreciated  :-*

Cheers!

Thank you Jayne, for putting my pics up.  I don't know what I was doing wrong :-[  Obviously a lot....

Pity about the lids huh.  They have a couple of layers of whatever the silver stuff is, it appears the top layer has been melted or something.  Anyone have any ideas???

Thanks again Jayne!

You're welcome Shereea, there is a topic here with lots of help on pics. Personally I use Picasa, which is free, and which makes it quite easy to reduce file sizes, just use the "export" button (slide to 800 is usually about right).

http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34093.0.html

The pots are lovely. :) I don't know what can be done about the lids I'm afraid. :(
Title: Re: Re: Trinket set powder bowl in uranium green glass with metal lid
Post by: Anne on June 19, 2013, 12:56:17 PM
No worries, we're always happy to help, and as long as someone does it that's the most important thing. :)  I was out most of yesterday so am only just now catching up again. (Jayne thank you for helping out.  8) )

Your pots look like a match for mine for sure but mine aren't marked at all, so I presume same maker but different mould. That we are looking for a British maker is a step forward though, and we know they aren't in the catalogues of Sowerby, Davidson, Jobling or Bagley, so that's four down. There is still Century, whose catalogues we don't yet have access to, and several smaller / less well-known glassworks, so for the time being they will be mystery no. 61 still.

Re the lids - the one on mine is an insert - it looks like some sort of card with a guilloche pattern (faux guilloche?) - it's certainly not genuinely enamelled guilloche. The insert of mine has come loose. I suspect the lids on Sheree's are of a similar construction - perhaps a foil over card (or composite) backing? Once damaged I don't think they are repairable, which is a shame. Sheree may I add your pics to the listing on the GTS site too please? Mystery no. 61 on GTS (http://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms15/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=241:mystery-set-61&catid=28:mysteries&Itemid=52)

Jayne & Christine, thanks for the info re Regent of London - now I've seen the pics I remembered about them!  ;D

You're most welcome to add the pics on any other site you wish Anne.  Who knows, the more people that can view the pics, the higher the chances of positive identification.

Thank you Anne!

Another step forward! I picked up two of these today, a small blue one with MADE IN ENGLAND in the base, and a large clear one with three marks on the base: MADE IN ENGLAND    REGENT PRODUCTS    and a DS monogram inside a rectangle. Sadly  I've not managed to get a photo of the monogram or the REGENT PRODUCTS bits as they are very feint, and I have to angle the light to be able to make it out at all. I'll try again in daylight! 

Meanwhile, I've managed a reasonable copy of the monogram as a digital image...

Well done Aunty Trace, you managed it just fine. :) You should be able to add 4 images per post - there's a wee link below the add attachment box that says More attachments. Each time you press the link it adds another attachment box for you (up to a max. of 4).

It's great to see the whole set, along with the tray.  May I add your images to the Glass Trinket Sets website please? Images are credited to the donor on the site, of course. :)

DS might stand for Department Stores.

Any chance of this being part of the Bagley Carnival range?

I came by this, not sure why these two items were matched together...

That's an interesting thought TC - they could have been made for Regent by Bagley, but we have no proof. The colour is a good match for Bagley blue though. I am still trying to pin down the DS monogram to a maker or wholesaler etc...

OK I "think" I have solved the DS monogram mystery, but would welcome thoughts from anyone with access to old Pottery and Glass Gazettes for a bit of checking if possible please to see if this company shows up with a Regent of London advert connection ... this is what I have so far (plus the other LG notices that fall between 1982-1985) ...

It doesn't tell us who made the glass but by pinning down the DS it might help us take the search a bit further, and gives us a name to search for in glass company production records if we can find them.

Anne and Tigerchips, your posts were so interesting, I have done some more digging since.
To summarise

It seems our David Strasburger – Regent of London, Regent of London Ltd, Regent Products, DS Products, Regent Jewellers (London) etc. had a relative, likely a brother/cousin: Lionel Strasmore previously Lion Strasburger and his wife Anna Strasburger nee Traubover who also dealt in fancy goods and held partnerships/companies;

Riede, Strasburger & Weissberger.
L. Strasmore Limited.
Lionel Strasmore (London) Limited. - Company Number 00647817
A. Strasmore (1952) Limited.


and possibly one two or all of them held;
Lissco Products Limited.
Delina Lissco Limited.


Dressing Table Sets/Dresser Sets and Brush sets with patented detachable brushes remarkably similar to Regent of London sets, are also to be found with Delina or Lissco Products Ltd labels/paperwork/boxes, sometimes including glass trinket/cream/powder jars/pots and trays all Made in England.

The Graces Guide link above to the British Industries fair 1947, shows L Strasmore directly underneath David Strasburger at the same address of Kent House 87 Regent Street London W.

Elstralite caught my eye, and research shows lighters can be found bearing this name also Elstra-Lite and Strasmore Lighters sometimes with a mark RM co inside a five point star, and Made in England and some with Regd Design No 847726. I have seen photos of a Strasmore Classic Lighter, an Elstralite Gem Lighter and an Elstralite Prince Lighter.

The names Strasburger and Strasmore are/were rather rare and unique in the UK and easily traced on Free BMD (Births Marriages Deaths) I have added ages to give a better picture.

Searching info and images for an elusive 12-15 Kent House, 87 Regent Street, Kent House appears to have disappeared almost completely from the internet and maps, the current Regent Street address houses Hunter Boots and Hollister and Co within 83-97, no mention of Kent House.

The current Postcode for 87 Regent Street W1B 4EN =  83-97 (Radnor House 83-85=Hunter) (87-97 = Hollister) again no mention of Kent House.

There are several other Kent House addresses in London, the main (irrelevant) one that appears while searching for Kent House 87 Regent Street is;
Kent House 14-17 Market Place Fitzrovia London W1 built 1938 currently housing Reiss Clothing.

Lots more fascinating info there, thanks Anne.

Coincidentally, today I saw a 'Regent of London' Powder Compact for sale on eBay in a 'Harrods Regent of London' box!
