On this page we have included all of the Davidson Cloud Glass that does belong in the other pages in this section. This includes items such as plates, jugs, grape fruit sets etc. There are some styles which we know from Davidson records  were made in Cloud Glass, but do  not appear in any catalogues and no known examples exist. These include 'Fish 1', and 'Praise Girl'. 'Fish 1' may be either a model of a fish (Davidson made one in the 1960s) or fish shaped book ends. 'Praise Girl' appears to be a model of a young girl in a devotional pose. Both of these were made in Green Cloud Glass.

This page is by no means complete, as new examples are always appearing at fairs or on Auction web sites. The rarity of some of these pieces suggest they were trade samples and only one or two batches were made.

Davidson Pattern No:  2 Salad Servers Known Cloud Colours:   Blue Size(s):  9", 8" Date Range:  1923 to 1940 Description:  Davidson introduced their glass salad servers in 1923 - the first English glass company to do so. They were made in Flint and Amber Glass. Until this pair appeared on Ebay it was assumed that these were not made in Cloud colours. The fact they this blue pair exists suggests that they may have also been made in Purple Cloud and possibly Amber Cloud. We know from the 1930s production records that these salad servers were not made in Cloud glass during that time.

Davidson Pattern No:  26 Square Sweet Dish Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Blue, Green, Purple, Orange Size(s):  9" Date Range:  1930 (?) to 1942(?) Description:  Large square dish with raised corners.

Davidson Pattern No:  26 Square Sweet Dish Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Blue, Green, Purple Size(s):  4" Date Range:  1930 (?) to 1942(?) Description:  A smaller version of the 26 dish above. This dish is only 4" square.

Davidson Pattern No:  269 Known Cloud Colours:   Purple Size(s):  4.5  inches Date Range:  1908 to 1965 Description:  The 269 pattern, registered in 1908, was one of Davidson's most long lived designs. It was still being made in the 1960s. Very little was made in Cloud Glass. The only known examples are in 'Ribbon' Purple Cloud and in the smallest size - 4.5 inches diameter. These were probably some of the earliest examples of Cloud Glass that Davidson made.

Davidson Pattern No:  280 Square Dish Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Blue, Purple Size(s):  8 inches square, 11 inches square Date Range:  1925 (?)  to 1940 (?) Description:  Plates in the 280 style are quite common and occur in a variety of Cloud Colours. Only limited quantities of the dish were made in Amber and other Cloud colours (only 42 between 1932 and 1945).

Davidson Pattern No:  280 Oblong Dish Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Blue, Purple Size(s):  11 inches by 8 inches Date Range:  1925 (?)  to 1940 (?) Description:  Oblong version of the 280 dish.

Davidson Pattern No:  280 Octagonal Plate Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange Size(s):  5.5 and 7.75 inches Square Date Range:  1925 (?)  to 1940 (?) Description:  These plates were made in large quantities in all of the Cloud Colours except Red and Topaz-Briar. Towards the end of the 1930s, they were also sold as part of two or three tier cake stands. The smaller size plate was not made in Cloud Glass after 1931. These had either chrome or wooden fittings (see examples below).

Davidson Pattern No:  280 S, 1040 S Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange Size(s):  2-Tier 280 S, 3-Tier 1040 S Date Range:  1938 (?)  to 1940 (?) Description:  Cake stands were very popular before and after the war. Davidson used the 280 plates in these two or three tier cake stands. These cake stands were mostly chrome, but some were made from wood and could be folded flat.

Davidson Pattern No:  282 Plate Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Purple, Green Size(s):  8 inches diameter Date Range:  1925 (?)  to 1940 (?) Description:  These round plates were also sold in large numbers, but not in Blue or Orange Cloud Glass. Like the 280 Octagonal plates, they were also sold as part of a two (282 R) or three (1040 R) tier cake stand. There were three round dishes in the 282 range. These were 4.5, 5.5 and 9 inches in diameter. All were made in Amber, Purple, Blue and Green Cloud Glass. A finger bowl was also made in Amber, Blue and Purple Cloud.

Davidson Pattern No:  283 Sugar and Cream Known Cloud Colours:   Purple Size(s):  Sugar 4.5" diameter Date Range:  1912 to 1942(?) Description:  The 283 was one of Davidson's most popular glassware suites between the wars. Very little of the tableware was made in Cloud Glass. Trinket sets and flower bowls were, on the other hand, were made in large quantities in all of the Cloud colours.

Davidson Pattern No:  283 Water Jug and No 2 Tumblers Known Cloud Colours:   Blue Size(s):  Jug 2 pints, Tumblers 10 oz Date Range:  1912 to 1960(?) Description:  Only a very few examples are known of this water set in Cloud Glass, both of them are in Blue Cloud Glass.

Davidson Pattern No:  283 Salad Bowl Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Blue, Green, Purple,  Orange Size(s): 8.5 and 9.5 inches diameter Date Range:  1912 to 1942(?) Description:  A simple salad bowl in the 283 pattern with a cut top. Only about 60 of these were made in Orange Cloud Glass.

Davidson Pattern No:  283 7.75" Twisted candlestick Known Cloud Colours:   Amber Size(s): 7.5 Date Range:  1912 to 1930(?) Description:  This another, rarer, variant of the 283 tall candlestick. It has a barley twist stem, but in all other respects is identical to the tall 283 candlestick

Davidson Pattern No:  2471/2 Grape Fruit Dish and 279 Plate Known Cloud Colours:   Blue Size(s):  Dish 4.5" diameter, Plate 5" Diameter Date Range:  1912 to 1942(?) Description:  Small Grape fruit dish on plate/stand. As with the 283 glass suite, very little of the ordinary tableware was made in Cloud Glass.

Davidson Pattern No:  Ink 48 Known Cloud Colours:   Amber Size(s):  3" square Date Range:  1943 Description:  Davidson produced a number of ink wells, but this in the only one recorded in Cloud Glass. Surprisingly it was made in Amber Cloud only in January 1943 when about 1,960 were made. As this was after the Order of August 1942 limiting the supply of all but essential undecorated glassware it must have been for a government or similar contract.

Davidson Pattern No:  535 Known Cloud Colours:   Purple Size(s):  10" diameter, 3.5" high Date Range:  Late 1960s Description:  This bowl appears in Davidson's 1968 catalogue. It was made in a variety of sizes and colours. The example shown here is clear glass with faint purple trails i.e. Purple Cloud Glass. Two other examples of this bowl with Purple trails are known to us. We do not know whether this was a trial, a short run or a special order. An article on the possible origins of the trails in this bowl can be found here.

Davidson Pattern No:  697 Candlestick Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Green, Purple Size(s):   Date Range:  1925 to 1940 Description:  This tall candlestick could be adapted and made into an electric table lamp. Davidson usually advertised this candlestick with the 697 flower bowl and marketed them as a console set. Very few were made in Cloud Glass. The candlestick is most often found in plain amber.

Davidson Pattern No:  737/C Known Cloud Colours:   Blue Size(s):   Date Range:  1928 to 1957? Description:  The 737 pattern was registered in 1928 (Design No 737904). This salad bowl is one of the few items in the range that were made in Cloud Glass. Another example from this pattern can be found here.

Davidson Pattern No:  9421 Plate Known Cloud Colours:   Amber, Blue, Green, Purple Size(s):  5.5, 8, 11.5 and 17" diameter Date Range:  1928(?) to 1942(?) Description:  This plate has a similar design to the 1910 pattern. The larger plates were also sold as part of a 3-tier cake stand.  Davidson also made salad bowls in this pattern, but probably not in Cloud Glass.

Davidson Pattern No:  Unknown Known Cloud Colours:   Amber Size(s):  3.5 inches diameter by 2.5 inches high Date Range:  1922(?) to 1931(?) Description:  This small pot, which is missing it's lid, is most probably a Davidson piece. The Amber Cloud colouring compares well with other pieces of Davidson. The style of the moulding is very similar to other Davidson domestic pieces e.g. 696 bowls, 247 grape fruit dishes etc.

Davidson Pattern No:  Unknown Known Cloud Colours:   Amber Size(s):  3.5 inches diameter by 2.5 inches high Date Range:  1922(?) to 1931(?) Description:  Like the pot above, this is also missing it's lid. It is not certain whether this was made by Davidson.

Davidson Pattern No:  Unknown Known Cloud Colours:   Amber Size(s):  4.5 inches long by 2.5 inches high Date Range:  1922(?) to 1931(?) Description:  This is a most unusual example of Amber Cloud Glass. These Lion figures have been attributed to Greener & Co (The Identification of English Pressed Glass, Jenny Thompson) and originally date from the 1880s. The amber of this lion is much paler than is normally found in Davidson pieces. As Greener & Co became Joblings, it is possible that this Lion is a Jobling piece. Why this Lion was made in Cloud Glass is not clear. The size and shape of the piece make it very difficult to tell it is Cloud Glass and not plain Amber. Why this style was remade in the 1930s is also an interesting question. These lions have started to appear in a variety of colours at antique fairs recently. This may indicate that they are modern reproductions.

Davidson Pattern No:  Unknown Known Cloud Colours:   Amber Size(s):  5" diameter by 3" high Date Range:  Unknown Description:  This is a mystery piece, and we are uncertain as to its origin. The moulding on this piece is very poor as can be seen from the left hand handle in the picture. This may have been produced when Davidson started to re-introduce old designs in the mid 1960s. We are, however, not convinced that it is a Davidson piece.
