Davidson Pattern No:  255 Known Colours:  Amber,  Flint Size(s):  Pint, Half-Pint and 12 ozs Date Introduced: 1935 Description:  A beer mug, or can with the outline of a beer keg on the side. This was a very successful design, so successful that it was copied by the Japanese. When they began to undercut the price in Australia, which was Davidson's main export market, Davidson realised they would have to act. From 1939 they registered their new designs in the UK and Australia.

A modified version of the design was registered in 1928 and became the 737 range.

Davidson Pattern No:  695 Pattern Known Colours:  Amber, Blue, Emerald, Peach, Flint Size(s):  Various Date Introduced: 1923 Description: This example of a fruit dish in the 695 pattern is a rare example of Uranium glass.

Davidson Pattern No:  714 range Known Colours:  Peach, emerald, amber, flint Size(s):  Various Date Introduced: 1930 Description:  A large range, plates, fruit dishes bowls etc was made in the 714 pattern. The 714 is one a number of similar patterns which include the 504 and 940 ranges. This example is a butter dish and is illustrated in the 1940 catalogue.

After the war, the set was sold as a 14 piece set with a 10" plate to go under the large 81/2" dish. In the 1960s the set was sold as a seven piece set without the under plates.

Davidson Pattern No:  714/1074 Cake Plate Known Colours:  Peach, emerald, amber, flint Size(s):  9" diameter Date Introduced: 1930 Description: These cake plates came with a variety of different handles and were made both before and after the war.

Davidson Pattern No:  937 Known Colours:  Amber, Emerald,  Flint Size(s):  Various Date Introduced: 1938 Description:  The 937 pattern was introduced in 1938. The design was registered in February of that year (Reg. No.825955). The pattern was used mostly for fruit sets, the example shown here is the large serving bowl from such a set. Fruit sets consisted of the large serving  bowl and six small dishes. The 937 pattern was still being up until the late 1950s. Queen Mary purchased a fruit set in emerald in this pattern at the 1938 British Industries Fair.

Davidson Pattern No:  1180 Serviette ring Known Colours:  Amber, Emerald, Peach, Flint Size(s):  1.5" high, 1.75" wide Date Introduced: 1937 Description:  These were sold in sets of 4 in assorted colours. The example pictured here is of a 1937 King George VI commemorative in amber.

Davidson Pattern No:  Unknown Known Colours:  Flint, Jade Size(s):  2 1/2 inches high, 2 1/2 inches wide Date Introduced: 1931 Description:  A sugar bowl. The pattern is called Georgian and was imported by the National Glass Company, who also imported Chippendale glass. In 1930, Davidson began to make Chippendale for the National Glass Company, eventually buying the moulds. Georgian Glass was first imported into the UK at about the same time as Chippendale and initially was advertised heavily. By the late 1920s, the Georgian adverts had disappeared, only Chippendale was advertised widely. Why Davidson should make a sugar bowl in an expensive glass, presumably for the National Glass Company, at a time when its popularity was waning is a puzzle. Examples of this sugar bowl are also known in clear flint glass.
