On the Board's 'Glass Gallery' we already have this pattern showing on a comport in the Registered Designs section (06) - pp. 3 and 4 - would imagine posted by Fred - to which I think he's added some comment along the lines of 'not very common'.            Anyway this sugar can be added to the rogues gallery if of interest.
Four mould seams, and a lozenge that's certainly not very legible so possible this example wasn't pressed very close the date of Registration.               Some sizeable white stones in the glass and a fair amount of wear to the underside of the foot, otherwise in good condition.                     5.25" (135 mm) across the rim.

thanks ever so Fred.            Apologies for being Mr. Thicky  -  I had meant to include the National Archives image  -  so better late than never, here it is, and you'll see that the original Registered design was based on their sugar ;D               Sorry the picture is a little flaky  -  hope I haven't posted it previously, and forgotten. :-\
