Title: Flint Glass Bowl English?
Post by: lychap on June 26, 2013, 08:24:35 PM

Flint glass sugar (I presume) 4 1/4" high with rim diameter of 6", the glass is quite thick approx 1/4" and weighs 800gms.
Pressed glass  with double bullseye with triple arch and fans and with sawtooth rim.
Underneath has a number, very faint and uneven 3087 I think but doesn't say RD or REG No.
Not sure if this is English or not?
Hoping someone recognizes the pattern  ;D

Hello and welcome to the board :)
please could we ask that you upload your pictures directly to the board?  otherwise information given freely becomes useless and wasted, and has no relevance for future reference, when the photos disappear from an external hosting site.
If you encounter problems uploading your pics, please let us know and we will do what we can to help.
Many thanks :)

If you have a look at this link you will see pattern 390 is in the same ballpark as your image

On the assumption that your piece is heavy, and therefore likely to be early pressed glass, I would go for late 1840s to 1850s design from an unidentified factory.
