Topic: Fostoria American clear Bowl with 'British Made' on Base, ID = Jobling

[petet63]

Im a little confused with this one. All my searches came up with the Fostoria American Clear pattern and its a perfect match, this however has British Made on the base ? Did  someone buy the pattern and make it here in the UK. ?

No, it's Jobling salad bowl No 2583 from the 1930s. Also found in jade and in a small posy bowl. Here's my small one. http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1336 My large jade one has a plant in it, as its a bit battered, so I haven't photographed it. The cube type pattern is not exclusive to Fostoria by any means

Thanks Lustrousstone. It was confusing me, I looked through my Jobling and other British links and didn't see it. Live and learn It was very cheap and I could see that with a clean up it would look really good. It does.

Just correcting this to the 2077 salad bowl NOT 2583

   the larger of the two sizes of this design has projections to the base of the handles, as shown in the example here  -  I assume this allows the bowl to be a stand alone item, though at the time of issue there was a black plinth (catalogue 2535L) made to fit the bowl.      There was a smaller plinth made specifically for the smaller bowl, plus a 2" flower block for the small bowl.
For whatever reason it seems that neither size of this bowl was Registered.

Unfortunately, the factory catalogue omits dimensions for both sizes of bowl  -  I have seen the jade version several times, and it's an attractive piece which glows well.

In view of Christine's id perhaps the Mods. can now move this one to British & Irish Glass.
