CHEVRON patterned glassware made by JOSEF INWALD

30/7/2018

Recently I was sent pictures of a CLAYTON MAYERS & CO. LTD. catalogue .

Pictured below is page 31 of this catalogue.
The exact date of this catalogue is unknown however as the prices are shown in schillings and pence, we can determine it is before the 15th February 1971 as this is when Britain changed their currency to decimal.

The pictures above have been kindly sent to me by a collector from Scotland.

The following information has been gained from the Graces Guide to British Industrial History Web site and I quote.
CLAYTON MAYERS & CO. LTD.
Grays Inn Road London
The company was selling the glass of Davidson,Moor and Baccarat along with glass from other makers.
By 1923 they were selling a wide range of glassware from the UK, Czechoslovakia, Norway and Belgium.
