Edward Moore hobnail pattern cheese dome in flint glass c.1880
[Tyne & wear Museum ....I have tracked down TWCMS2002.1254, its in our own museum here in South Shields. The plate has had a poor repair at sometime, but despite that it is a nice piece of glass, it was donated to the museum in 1973 by a local South Shields man.
Now the million dollar question did Edward Moore make it ? I believe it was made by the Moore factory here in South Shields in about 1880 ?. It is not in the 1870 cat, but it has all the Moore characteristics and the fact it was donated by a Shields man who no doubt had it passed down though the family. My book on Moore will be titled "Granny Glass"because here in the North East glass was passed down in the family, mothers to daughters etc. I hope this info helps and for what its worth i am more than happy to attribute your glass to Edward Moore's Tyne Flint Glassworks. ]
