Title: Davidson 1910 suite flower bowl - complete
Post by: Anne E.B. on March 23, 2009, 04:04:58 PM

Just thought I'd show off my newest acquisition - a Davidson flower bowl and plinth patt.no. 1910M in matte black.  The bowl measures 6½" in diameter.  This is shown in Davidson's 1940 catalogue (from Davidson Glass - a history. Stewart & Stewart).

After a rummage in the garage I found what I think is the right size flower holder.  Its marked 7830-1910 and measures approx. 3¼" diam. x 2½" high.  How lucky is that! ;D

The bowl has what might be the original price pencilled underneath i.e. 5/6.  The plinth is marked 2/3 in pencil on the base.

I've not seen any of the matt black anywhere except online before. Superb!

It is an impressive piece I must admit, although a little funereal looking if I'm totally honest IMHO  ;D ;)
