RODNEY KENT, catalog numbers, continued



   

     

 This little unmarked relish dish is complete with all its glass, lids and little plastic spoons (not shown) and is the type of Rodney Kent items that rate highly with the collectors. It is the general belief is that in later years the company quit stamping the logo and number and started using either stick-on labels or string tags.
       Pieces such as this are undeniably Rodney Kent, but there some lessor quality pieces that may be copies. They are very similar, but lack the depth of detail that is normal on the ribbon strip. Buyer beware!

            I was pleased to fill in one blank from one of my own overlooked pieces, but I see there are over a dozen numbers needing descriptions. A collector has promised photos of her collection and may be able to include their numbers. 

            SOS to all collectors, if at all possible, please check your RK pieces for any of the above numbers with missing descriptions. A complete number and description list would be great - one with accompanying photos would be fabulous.



            Another unmarked Rodney Kent piece, a breakfast set, I believe - two butter dishes, to jam jars and a toast rack. The lids are taped down.
