Title: Derbyshire ? pressed glass lion
Post by: flying free on April 17, 2025, 10:45:00 PM

Came across this lion searching a museum collection.  Says it's 'Regent Road Flint glass works'.  The address of John Derbyshire glass?

Many other pieces in the collection just 'attributed to' or incorrectly labelled as e.g. Michael Edkins (I suspect either Bohemian or La Granja) or 'English' ( I suspect Bohemian).

Anyway just thought it was interesting as a pictorial reference and perhaps we might know it's origin?

Yes that looks like the standard registered Derbyshire Landseer lion. There is quite a similar model in the USA which came out a few years later from Bakewell Pears.
