In the United States, this pattern is referred to as RICHELIEU, but was never given that name by Davidson.

Davidson's contemporary name for this design was the 945 Suite, the name taken from the registration number, as also was the following year's suite.   The 1890 design was the first to be named for the year, i.e. the 1890 Suite, a practice which Davidson continued up to the outbreak of the Great War, although a few of the designs have yet to be identified.   See Stewart & Stewart for chapter and verse on this, including one design which they know is one of the unidentified yearly suites, but they don't know which one!    Isn't that frustrating!

Stewart & Stewart is available from Broadfield House Glass Museum, see here (http://www.dudley.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/museums--galleries/glass-museum/information/shop), but I can't find it in their online booklist.   There were some half dozen copies on the right hand end of the top shelf a few weeks ago, when I last made a fleeting visit.

Nor can I find Chance Expressions or Glen's Sowerby CDs or any other recent publications.   Would some kind soul please point me to the correct page.

Hi,
    The Patent on the dish refers to patent No 8049 and not the registered design number. See http://www.cloudglass.com/Patents.htm for a description of this patent.

Regards

Chris
