Title: RD 739548 of 30 July 1928 – Young & Hodgson – ELIZABETHAN?
Post by: agincourt17 on September 23, 2014, 08:17:28 PM

Three items in clear press-moulded glass, each bearing the RD number 739548 plus the legend ELIZABETHAN. I am led to believe that this RD number was registered by Young & Hodgson on 30 July 1928.

(Permission for the re-use of these images on the GMB granted by Rob Young).

RD number 739548 is not listed at
http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/regnos08.htm
so I presume that it listed in the Blue Book. Can anyone confirm this, please?

Professor Google seems to be in complete ignorance regarding Messrs. Young & Hodgson or their activities, so can anyone offer more details about them, please?

Fred.

Hi Fred, yes it is in the Blue Book. :)

We have an earlier topic about Young & Hodgson here:

Thank you, Anne.

I had tried a GMB search on Young & Hodgson but got no result.

Ironically, of course,  the link you give was to my own query about Young & Hodgson's RD 711903, but for same reason I can't trace any reference photos to that RD number.

Will add RD 739548 to the GMB RD database tomorrow.

Fred.

I presume that the 'Elizabethan' pattern was produced as a potential competitor to Clayton Mayers' 'Jacobean' pattern glassware.

Does anyone have examples of other shapes in this 'Elizabethan' pattern to show, please?

Fred.
