If the silver is hallmarked that will give you a date and some indication of where it might have been made/imported.

Hmmmm it looks like it could be Davidson pattern 695.... see 2nd item on this page: http://www.cloudglass.com/R19211930.htm

Rose, is the rim hallmarked silver or is it plated?

Thanks Christine, I was hoping you would confirm it. :)  I have two large cake plates in this, and a small bowl too somewhere in the cupboard.

Confirm 695.  One of Davidson's best sellers, in various sizes.  Many sold to the "platers" (one of whom, Abrahams, of course eventually took over the firm) for fitting rims etc.  I seem to recall some had the tops specially roughened to take the adhesive.

 :o :o really...

I see no anything on the ring -- nothing. Are you saying the pattern was registered for that date, as this is the age of this  :huh: ....

I was going to put it in my own garage sale stuff for next year, and ask maybe $5 for it,as it appears to be in excellant shape....and I thought it was maybe like the posting/date of this other piece of glass in this post:
 * Candy Dish with lid... November 13, 2007, 07:54:53 AM  of mine

So what is the value/age/date of it?

confused as usual.... :-\

Hi Rose I suspect your rim is chrome-plated. The date is when the design was registered but many of Davidson's designs were made for 40 years or so. Yours is more likely 50s/60s when metal fittings were quite the thing. What is the base rim of the bowl like - is it rounded off and shiny as if it just came out of a mould or ground flat? I also suspect $5 is not far off the mark.

Like Christine, most of these I have seen have had chrome plated rims, with a few EPNS (silver plated).   Very occasionally you find them with handles.    Once, just the once, I found one with a hallmarked silver rim, most unusual for mounted Davidson.

Hi all,

Looking at the base I would say this is a 737 not 695 dish. See http://www.cloudglass.com/R19211930.htm  - designs 737904 and 695113.

Regards

Chris

That's why we need experts, not amateurs, to look at our bottoms  ;D

 :nogoss:
I'm sure "your bottom" is just fine.....as for me and my Glass........does that make it 737 postively, and NOT 695.....   :D

Yes, the base pattern is more complex than on a 695

Hi Guys
I have some of this pattern in my collection, in this photo the two pots one with lid, EPNS, and the one without have the Rd No 737094 inside on the base, the jug I do not know which one this is and the small dish has a label MADE in ENGLAND I think Davidson used a label just like this, the two pots and jug have groung base rim and a 28 point star.

Hi Tony,

the square dish with the label is a No 38 sweet dish. Not part of the 737 or 695 patterns.

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris
A bit of a surprise, I thought this was one or the other as it has a pattern of three rows of diamonds.
Is No 38 on its own or are there more.

I (think) I have discovered another 737 in my home.  It is a little round dish (like the big bowl), but in a little silver caddy, w/a handle.  It says something on it, but I best not quote right now as the item in not in front of my (xx) eyes.  I does not have the silver rim around the top -- but (maybe) this got lost....

Anyways, I will take a pic asap...and post here....okey dokey ;)

Hi Tony,

The 38 sweet dish was a one off and not part of any other pattern.
