This is a footed shaft and globe decanter with a moulded chevron pattern, called "Ribbonette". The stopper mirrors the shape of the decanter and has the same moulded chevron pattern. Made c.1910-1930

The body of this decanter is exactly the same as the previous family of decanter and claret jug, just with a different moulded pattern. There are more patterns using this shape including some with cutting, and some of them are marked too.

This is a Webb "Ribbonette" pattern half pint tankard in uranium green. Pattern number 33130, made c.1910-28.

The book tells me this pattern was introduced in 1910 and was still in the 1927-28 catalogue. I personally feel this glass is later, and they carried on making these beyond 1928. That's only my opinion though.

This is a Webb "Ribbonette" pattern one pint tankard in dark brown. Pattern number 33130, made c.1910-28.

Colour wise this feels like it's earlier than the uranium green tankard. This feels like it's more of a 1920s colour as opposed to the uranium green seeming like 1930s. Of course I may just be smoking something and dreaming. I only ever seen these tankards in uranium green, dark brown and clear.

This is a Webb "Ribbonette" pattern table jug in brown. Pattern number 33130, made c.1910-28.

I know these jugs come in other colours, including uranium green and sky blue. Looking at this page you may notice this pattern comes in four distinct shades of brown. I can't imagine wanting to have more than two shades of brown in production at anyone time, so I can only imagine it's a sign of the longevity of this pattern.

This is a Webb "Ribbonette" pattern tumbler in uranium green. Pattern number 33130, made c.1910-28.

These are great glasses and they are what we use to drink out of every day. The thing you have to remember is not to put them in the dishwasher. They are lead crystal and they won't last long. One of the tankards accidently went in and it cracked the handle first time in.

This is a Webb "Ribbonette" pattern tumbler in khaki green. Pattern number 33130, made c.1910-28.

I think this and the brown colour are older than the uranium green and orange ones. Those glasses have heavier bases and just look newer. Kind of 1930s.
