No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

I'm not sure what info you are looking for. The fact that it has a barcode on the box means that it's no older than 1970s but if Moser couldn't give you any more I doubt there's much else to be found out

Thanks, a lot of American cup plates there. The best reference remains the book by Ruth Webb Lee. Nearly a century old now but has the advantage of being written when a lot more examples must have been circulating. You sometimes get the odd rogue European plate snarled up in these collections, and there's one or two I'd quibble with in your link which they have down as unattributed American.

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.

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?

For Cagney:
I've come across a large collection of glass in the Currier Museum in the States. There are many 'canary' glass items in there and I've only been through a small amount of the collection so far. Just thought you might be interested or at may want to keep it as a reference point:

Hi. For a jug that seems to only have been produced for less than ten years by Sowerby it spawned some copies. Wonder if there's any more out there? Thanks for the info, Keith
