Hello Rosie  -  an illustration, of your linked half circle, is not in fact shown in Hajdamach, on that particular page of shapes about which we were speaking.     There is, however, a part cirlcle example of posy shown  -  and who knows, maybe the artist was having an off day, and maybe it is meant to be the full half circle item.    Did you understand all that?   not sure I did ;D
Wish they had always used Rd. Nos. or diamonds.

For what its worth VSL show similar (not the same) in their 1963 cat as 'Pont' amongst the other table troughs. So other makers were probably still knocking them out then too.

 oh you do know how to deflate a person Frank  ;D
Rosie, thank you for that  :)
I'm still hanging onto that 1880 date - Paul, sorry to ask again, but is my bridge actually featured in those pages in CH?  or just similar items please?
hmm, actually even if it does, that could still possibly leave Davidson with the mould though - and they could have made them in the '60s I guess.  However, in my favour I would have thought there may have been more of them around and about if they had.

There are two photos of pages from the Pottery Gazette dated 1st December 1888, showing a bunch of designs. One looks exactly like yours M, although the image is tiny the overall shape, the feet and the 'rope twist' rim all match, the catalogue number is 738.

Paul, how did you spot that?

nothing very clever, I'm afraid - quite basic really  -  with a question like this I simply hit those books that contain images of pressed pieces  -  and Hajdamach is one of those I would automatically refer to.     After a while, you tend to know which volumes will provide (or not) some worthwhile data on certain glass types  -  and for something like this I'd go to Thompson (plus supplement), Slack, Lattimore, Hajdamach, the Stewarts although not necessarily in that order.      From what I could see, it is only Hadjamach that provides an image of what appears to be this one.    I quite like this piece, it's unusual, and rather quircky.      Probably difficult m, but can you detect any wear in the usual 'high spot' places?

John thank you for that, I'm off to have a look to see if I can find it.
Frank, I can actually imagine these being used in the 30's just, but my head's still with 19th century at the mo given we now have pictures that match it.  I must investigate Davidson a bit more though.  If these kind of things were popular this century then perhaps they may have done a reissue. 
Paul, thanks again for taking so much interest.  There is some wear on the outer feet which are the ones that really sit flat, however both have some brown stuff stuck to them, indicating it had padded feet probably to stop scratching, so that's a bit of a non-starter on this one unfortunately for clues.

I know they are not the same as yours,  but there is a huge similarity and may even be ones you have already seen.

Thanks Rosie  :) not the same, but dated 1907 - so we have a range of dates for popularity stretching 80years  ;D
I need to go and do some looking on Davidson to see if they reissued the Edward Moore mould for this.
