shop window: pressed glass
A rare Robinson & Bolton pressed drinking-glass (shown about life-sized at left), the cup moulded in the form of a barrel. The interior bears the Registered Design lozenge for 17th February 1866 towards the bottom (see detail at lower right, above)
A rare Sowerby 'Jack Horner' bellows (shown about life-sized at top, left) from the 'nursery rhyme ' series based on the illustrations of Walter Crane, in purple marble glass. The actual design is more easily visible in the detail at top right, which is from the 1882 Sowerby catalogue, and also shows the pattern number (1285). Sadly, as is so often the case, the tip of the bellows is incomplete (the yellow line in the detail at centre right shows how the tip should be), and the low asking price reflects this
A Davidson boat-shaped posy-vase (shown rather smaller than life-sized at top) with raised seashell motif, in blue Pearline glass. With moulded Registered Design number 212684 (registered on 25th May 1893) to the bottom of the interior
A Davidson cream-jug (shown rather smaller than life-sized above), in blue Pearline glass. With moulded Registered Design number 217752 (registered on 6th September 1893) to the interior
A Davidson purple marble-glass joke "thimble" whisky-glass (shown slightly smaller than life-sized in the lower photos) with raised inscription "Just a thimble full" around the rim
