RD 231430
|
A clear pressed glass dish by Henry Greener, bearing the lozenge for 31 July 1869 - Parcel 8 (corresponding to RD 231430). Also known as a plate with same pattern and date lozenge.
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.
