The Many Shades of David Chadwick-Brown

Feb 17, 2017
Issue 2651

One Glass Maker Copies Another

The shade on the left is #2345, threaded over VDS, with unknown engraving. The one on the right seems to be more likely to have been a Fostoria design – the vertical stripes with heart/leaf, and while I have not seen a Carder drawing of such a design, mine is clearly marked with a Fleur de Lis.
