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 28th 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.

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

Colours: Amber, Blue, Purple, Green,

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.

Plinth. The S/696, 696 and 699 came with 4", 5" and 5.5"
