I have two questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Who made them?</p><p>2. Are they mourning plates?</p><p><br /></p><p>The original seller described them as mourning plates but I don’t know if that’s just the association with black amethyst glass? I know the Victorians were very ‘particular’ about their mourning but are these the sort of things one would have displayed in the parlour during a time of mourning?</p><p><br /></p><p>Each plate measures 22.5cm in diameter with a depth of 1.5cm. </p><p><br /></p><p>The plates have the Victorian kite mark which reads: Glass, 29th July 1876, parcel number 6. </p><p><br /></p><p>I found it interesting that each plate is marked twice, once on the base and once on the lattice/rim. </p><p><br /></p><p>From my research I know Sowerby and Davidson were producing black amethyst glass at this time but have managed to get no further. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for looking and any help you can give. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]307345[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
