Topic: Sowerby Boat - in black amethyst (?)

[Anne E.B.]

Is this Sowerby?  Only flint versions (9") appear in the c1940s and 1956 catalogues - courtesy of Glen and Stephen's Sowerby's Vol.Two - George V to Elizabeth II  :hiclp: but no mention of a black version.  I have two of these and both are slightly longer at 9½".
Many thanks

Anne — Yes, it is Sowerby, as you thought.   It turns up on its own, and in chrome or gold stands.

Thank you Bernard

Comes in blue and as well, possibly other colours

And pale pink in an extended out sort of shape!

I've seen the extended pink one on my travels and have often thought it looked Sowerbyesque, but was never quite sure.

Neither was I until I compared it in detail to the clear one Anne. The base is an absolute match in size, shape and pattern, and there are the same number of ribs to the sides too. I'm convinced the flared one is a variant of the more usual one.

Just woke up.  2634 boat.  Only a moron could have made this nice article in black!  It wasn't me!!!

Adam: Whoever made it must have been disappointed to not have any flat surfaces on which to put those little floral transfers.
