Title: Uranium Pearline Jug
Post by: Tinker-Taylor on July 28, 2010, 06:14:17 PM

Hello

I currently have this down as Davidson, but have been (sort of) informed that it might not be, as it is not stamped with a registration number. 

Can anyone tell me whether this means that it is definitely not Davidson?  And, for a bonus, can anyone name who it may have been made by, and what sort of year?

Thanks in advance,

Stuart.

Not all Davidson is. I only have one out of four (Davidson Pearline) marked. Can't lay my hands on an ID ATM

Thanks Christine.  I feel very strongly that it is Davidson, as the colour and feel is so "right" (for want of a better word).

When all is said and done, I think this jug would be rather too small to fit a reg number on without it looking a bit much.

I can't find it. I used to have a really good site for Pearline, but I seem to have lost it or it's gone. It could be Greener of course.

Ok, thanks - I'll add the info to the listing.

hello Stuart  -  notice that you say the jug is small, but don't give any measurements.   May I ask the height please. :)

Hi Paul

It's just 2" tall. 

(And that was not meant to rhyme!)

Regards,
Stu.

I say Davidson 100% there nis a small matching sugar bowl  that goes with it, I can think of a few other pieces of Davidson pearline that are not marked

It might be worth adding a link to the query which caused Stuart to ask the question... it was raised by Chris Stewart (author: Davidson Glass, a history), who said there were some lookalike copies of the Davidson 643 pattern, hence his heads up:
