TRESCO Flower Set

Pictured below is a page from a catalogue of a company called CLAYTON MAYERS & CO. LTD.

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

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

The following information has been obtained from the Graces Guide to British Industrial History Web Page 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

BUDDHA Flower Float Bowl Sets by STEUBEN GLASS

28/12/2017

2 Comments

It wasn't until I acquired a publication about THE GLASS OF FREDERICK CARDER by PAUL V GARDNER pictured below that I became aware that the figural flower frog in this set existed.

Pictured below is this bowl set as seen on page 46 of this publication.

On page 237 of this publication pictured below is seen a line drawing of this two part figural flower frog numbered 6721.

What is interesting is the name BUDDHA given to this figural flower frog in the publication.
I have always considered the name BUDDHA to be masculine rather than feminine.
The line drawing looks feminine in form.

Should you have or know of the existence of one of these figural flower frogs please let me know.
A picture of it along with dimentions would be much appreciated.
