Title: Could this be a Davidson vaseline butter dish 1920/30
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on January 12, 2011, 07:01:41 PM

Could this vaseline glass butter dish be by Davidson. I think it may be 1920's or a little later.

Diameter 7" / 18cm , weight 750 gm

Thanks for any help Roy

I am probably horribly wrong but the bottom plate at least looks very similar to several Percival Vickers designs from the 1860s, without 100% matching them. I have a few images of vaseline Percival Vickers plates in this ballpark all from the 1860s, but I haven't seen a butter dish like this one.

The colour also looks wrong for Davidson; their non-Pearline uranium is yellow not green.
