Note
From 1884 the registration system was changed. The lozenge was abandoned and the design numbers were restarted from 1. The sketches in the pattern books no longer offer a description of the object.
5 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23040
An octagonal barrel shape. The bottom has a star pattern. The sides have a complex squared pattern. The best guess for these patterns from 1885 is that they might be for jars or small pots.
5 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23041
A circular barrel shape. The top is plain with a smooth edge. The bottom is plain with a jagged edge. The sides have a three stage pattern. There is a complex pattern of diamond / hexagonal shapes, then a line of squares cut by diagonal lines, then a band of small vertical lines.
10 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23333
A pattern of squares cut by diagonal lines, drawn inside a rectangle. The centre of each square forms a point which is level to the surface of the glass.
This set of patterns are thought to be pavement lights

10 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23334
As 23333 but each square has a further small square at the centre, which is level to the surface of the glass.
10 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23335
A simple pattern of circles within an enclosing rectangle. The top of each circle is level to the surface of the glass.
10 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23336
A repeating pattern of lines (representing a triangular shape) and circles within an enclosing rectangle. The peak of each circle and triangular ridge is level to the surface of the glass.
10 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23337
A pattern of circles fringed at each end by half ovoids within an enclosing rectangle.
10 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23338
A pattern of irregularly spaced lines, representing triangular ridges, within an enclosing rectangle. The peak of each ridge is level to the surface of the glass.
11 MARCH 1885
Design Number
23378
The design sketch looks like the underside of a stand supporting an unknown object. The stand is square except for a bulge in one corner, and another bulge halfway down one side. There are 3 circular marks on the stand and two thin rectangular bars, all of which give the impression they are there for attaching something on to the stand.
14 JULY 1885
Design Number
29780
A design showing a castle wall from a front and side elevation. The wall has three layers of bricks and a crenellated top, but no base.
This design was used to create flower holders in the shape of white opalescent castle pieces. There are four pieces that we know about: a circular section, a straight wall, a curved wall, and a corner turret.

Design Number
29781
A pike flower trough. We own a green version of this piece with no registration number, which in other respects, matches the registration sketch - it is possible this design was copied by other glass houses. The Manchester Art Gallery also has one of these pikes in cobalt blue, and there is one with a longer body which is opalescent.

Design Number
31844
A flower holder in the shape of a duck. The neck of the duck is speckled. The body, which has a large oval open section, has a feather pattern. An example of this design was exhibited in early 2009 and described as blue and opalescent.
