RD 231430
|
Registry lozenge for 31 July 1869 - Parcel 8 on a clear pressed glass dish by Henry Greener, (corresponding to RD 231430). Also seen on a plate with same pattern.
Both Thompson and Slack show a single design registration for RD 231430 [Thompson: ‘Design for a circular glass plate or stand (Gladstone”)].
At
http://1st-glass.1st-things.com/gallery-victorian/slides/dvgreenerflintplates.html
a plate in the ubiquitous Greener Gladstone design is shown alongside a plate with the same design as my dish, but which supposedly bearing the diamond registration mark with identifying details 7-H-A-7 (for 7 December 1869 – Parcel 7). This, in fact, corresponds to Greener RD 236921, which Thompson gives as the equally ubiquitous Greener ‘Peabody’ commemorative design, and which my dish is obviously not.
Apparently, there is a similar case with the Greener Marquis of Lorne butter dish which has a registry mark which corresponds to a different design.
