A three piece flower set came with bowl, flower dome and plinth. Normally all 3 parts would be in the same colour. As has been stated elsewhere, sizes given in Davidson catalogues are fluid.

Davidson Pattern No:   20
Known Cloud Colours: Amber, Blue, Purple, Green, Orange, Topaz-Briar
Size(s):  10" diameter
Date Range: 1922 - early 1960s
Description:  The first production trial for this bowl was on the 28^th April 1922. The bowl was still being made in the early 1960s. The inside of the bowl is flat with no recess for the flower dome to sit, which does not make it very useful for flowers! Some later versions have 4 raised lugs in the bowl to hold the flower dome in position.

The base of the No 20 bowl is flat with a shallow foot rim. The number 20 Flower Set came with a No 2 matching plinth and 4.5" flower dome.

Davidson Pattern No:   21
Known Cloud Colours: Amber, Blue, Purple, Green, Orange, Topaz-Briar
Size(s):  9" Diameter
Date Range: 1922 - early 1960s
Description:  This bowl is similar in shape to the No 20, but has a large foot and a recess in the centre of the bowl to hold the flower dome. The rim is sometimes knurled. A number 21 Flower Set came with a No 1 plinth and a 4" flower dome.

The number of No 21 bowls made is nearly three times as much as the No 20.

Size(s): 11" (24), 8.5" (24 M) Diameter

Size(s): 11" Diameter
Date Range: 1932 (?) to 1938

Davidson Pattern No: S/696 C, 696 C, 699 C
Known Cloud Colours: Amber, Blue, Purple, Green, Orange
Size(s): 7" (S/696), 8.5" (696), 10" (699) Diameter
Date Range: 1925 (?) to 1940
Description: The 696 and 699 series were the largest three piece flower sets that Davidson made. The first reference to these flower sets appears in a 'Buyers Notes' article in the November 1925 edition of the 'Pottery Gazette and Glass Trades review'. They were therefore probably introduced that year. The S/696 C variant was not made until 1937 and was only in production for one year (in Amber and Green Cloud Glass only). The 699 C also does not appear to have been made in Orange Cloud Glass.

The 696 and 699 sets both came with a No 2 plinth. The S/696 a No 1 Plinth. The S/696, 696 and 699 came with 4", 5" and 5.5" flower domes respectively.

Description: The D variant in this range has a turned over rim and was the only one to have be produced in Red Cloud Glass. The S696 D was still in production after the war. and was also made in Topaz-Briar Cloud Glass. Plinth and flower domes sizes are the same as the 'C' variant.
