Topic: Sowerby Reg. 363049 dated 19.03.1881.

[Paul S.]

I've looked on the Board's archive but it didn't come up when I searched using the name and Rd. number, so hope I haven't missed it somewhere.

It's a late design in the list of lozenge Registrations, and would appear from the attached picture from TNA at Kew that it was simply the shape that was being protected  -  just a plain outline without any decoration  -  the trade mark is just about visible at about two o'clock in the first picture.
You can see where W/Fs got the 'cog wheel' idea from

In case the lozenge details aren't too clear, clockwise starting with the top they read  …...……..  19  -  E  -  W  -  11.

It's quite small  -  Simon Cottle calls it a 'Sweetmeat'  -  size is something like 5" (127 mm)  in diameter and 1.75" high (45 mm)  -  no idea if this one was ever produced in marbled or other colours.         Unfortunately, just realized that when taking the picture I've cropped the bottom excessively, and can see I chopped off the text description, so must assume Cottle was correct. 

Apologies if we have had this previously.

Jenny Thompson lists it as a sweetmeat too Paul. The previous number registered on the same date was listed as a basket (363048) - we don't have that on the board either unfortunately.

[Paul S.]

thanks Anne  -  regret I don't have the basket to show  -  yet

Thank you for showing this, Paul.

I'll search the pattern books to see if I can find the corresponding Sowerby pattern number.

Fred.

[Paul S.]

thanks Fred  - don't think it's in Cottle.

Paul, I'm pretty sure it's sweetmeat pattern no. 1625, shown on page 45 of pattern book XI (1885).

Herewith the pattern book illustration for permanent reference/comparison.

Fred.

[Paul S.]

that looks to be correct Fred, thanks for the research.
