British Registered Design numbers

A list of Registered Designs which appear as numbers (usually prefixed by "Reg No." or "Rd No." or some variation), either moulded into pressed glass, or etched (with acid or diamond-point), gilded or enamelled on hand-blown glass. Contains designs registered in Britain by major glass manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and retailers, from 1884 to 1944

    quick checklist

    If you just want to know in which year a particular design number was registered, the table below may be useful. The numbers are for the first known design registration for each year between 1884 and 1945, and then for each decade up to 1990. As you will see, sometimes we only know the first glassware registration, so if the material is, say, pottery or metal, and has a number only slightly lower, it might still have been registered in the same year
