Title: GTS Mystery Set 20 Uranium glass trinket set - parts of
Post by: Anne on April 28, 2006, 05:09:01 PM

I have found a part trinket set which I cannot find the maker for. I saw the same pattern listed on eBay a while ago, in a sort of peachy colour, but with no attribution.

I looked on Pamela's site and various other places but cannot find a set like this - does anyone know the maker please?  It is uranium glass - glows like mad under a UV light.

Thanks Christine, I must add the Bagley book to my library. (I know it's not in the Sowerby catalogues on Glen's Sowerby CD's, and it doesn't appear to be Davidson so Bagley is an option.)

No, don't think so after all. There is definitely someone who made a fair amount of glass in that Bagley, bluish shade of green uranium glass that we haven't identified yet. How does the colour compare with your Brockwitz bowl? Most of the green uranium you find is in shades of yellow green or grass or emerald green.

Thanks for checking Christine. All my uranium glass is a similar colour except for one powder bowl of unknown make. Some is Brockwitz ,some Sowerby, some unknown. I'll try setting it all up for a pic together in the same light and see if that shows anything helpful.  :)

I've now seen this same set in clear glass and a shade of brown - not amber or bottle brown  - more the colour of cinnamon. Does that jog anyone's memory at all as to who may have made them please?

possibly Sindorf, 1935 Germany
see PK 2008-1-01
too new to be on pavillon site already - but there seems no doubt IMHO

It does Pamela, and the knob is slightly different as well. Thank you for the Sindorf / PK reference - I'll go check them out. Much appreciated. :)

Title: blue glass dressing table set - Mystery Set No. 20
Post by: lmj on March 08, 2011, 10:37:57 AM

I have a smaller sized dressing table set and have trawled the usual first stops for id and have come up blank,any help would be useful then i can get back to the housework before my butt becomes the size of a small county ;)

You and me both, Lynn !  ;D   This is an unknown set still. It also comes in uranium green, clear, and a sort of cinnamon browny colour too (and maybe other colours I've not seen yet), but so far has evaded identification.

Thanks Anne,its nice to see the smaller ones.

I do have a pair of these boxes with lids of this pattern, in rich-golden amber glass. I have always considered them to be Davidson, but not hand-on-heart! They are not too disimilar to the Osprey pattern glassware by Bagley... A further contender perhaps?

Title: Re: blue glass dressing table set i need id for
Post by: Lustrousstone on March 08, 2011, 06:59:06 PM

Neither Bagley nor Davidson

Title: Re: blue glass dressing table set i need id for

.... with the greatest of respect Lus, how can you be sure?

Title: Re: blue glass dressing table set i need id for
Post by: Lustrousstone on March 08, 2011, 07:10:13 PM

My name is NOT Lus; my name is there in my signature

Because I've read both the Bagley and Davidson books (and so has Anne) and it's not there, and the green uranium that this set is also found in is not a shade of green containing uranium that was produced by either Bagley or Davidson.

Erm. "SORRY" Lustrousstone. Had no idea it would offend you, however I too have "Read The Books" and they are here where I'm sat. As for the Angela Bowey, Derek & Betty Parsons, paperback on Bagley, as informative & wonderful as it is, it is my no means A Bagley Glass Bible!  NUMEROUS Bagley items are neither listed nor present in their book. Same can be said about existing Davidson catalogues and dare I say it even Walther and many others. I merely exspress my own observations of which I have a personal understanding and offer my help as i see it. 

Title: Re: blue glass dressing table set i need id for
Post by: John Smith on March 08, 2011, 07:29:16 PM

.... Incidently, the original question was about the BLUE GLASS set. Not a single gram of Uranium is present to produce this crsytal.

My name isn't Lustrousstone either; my name is Christine. It's in my signature at the bottom of my posts.

No-one said Lynn's items were uranium but Anne said

You and me both, Lynn !  Kissy  This is an unknown set still. It also comes in uranium green, clear, and a sort of cinnamon browny colour too (and maybe other colours I've not seen yet), but so far has evaded identification.

And Anne has spent more hours than she cares to remember looking at such sets.

I'm also sure that if you have information that can identify hitherto unknown Bagley glass items, the author and owner of this board, Angela Bowey, would be delighted with such information for 4th edition (having only just finished the third edition).

Then by Angela's own self admission as stated in her book, she will of course KNOW that non-listed items/patterns and indeed colour variations DO existand wer most definately produced by Bagley. Am not saying for one moment that the above set was, but it sure as heavens could have been. Amen. 

Title: Uranium pressed glass tray - Mystery Set 20
Post by: Chris Harrison on April 20, 2012, 04:16:30 PM

This is similar to patterns by both Walther and Rudolfova (Inwald), but I haven't seen any trays that match.

Walther certainly made trays with this asymmetric style of handle.

Any ideas?  Ta.

Title: Re: Uranium pressed glass tray
Post by: Lustrousstone on April 20, 2012, 05:06:03 PM

Unknown I think. Have a look at Anne's trinket site

Title: Re: Uranium pressed glass tray
Post by: Anne on April 20, 2012, 11:24:10 PM

Yes, still unknown at this time, Chris. It comes in various colours including a rather curious toffee / cinnamon brown (not amber!), which I'm hoping might be a useful pointer to who made it.

These are the other parts of the set:

Oh wow!  Are you collecting trinket sets, or just documenting them?  Sorry, I've been out of circulation for a while (not at Her Majesty's Pleasure, don't worry  ;))

The strange brown colour:  is it like the UGB Kingfisher bowl? Or more of a dark amber like the various bits of Czech that are often thought to be Rosice (I have a couple of rocket vases)?
Or cinnamon like Whitefriars?  Or completely different?

Title: Re: Uranium pressed glass tray
Post by: Anne on April 21, 2012, 05:02:27 PM

Hi Chris, nice to see you back!  :-*

I'm both collecting and documenting them. I have around 80 trays and 15 boxes of pots, candlesticks and other parts so far (probably around 300 items.)  I've probably got enough to be a small exhibition somewhere!  ;D

I'm also collecting images sent to me by kind folks here and elsewhere to add to the GTS site. It's a bit behind at the moment as I have little time to spare to update it, but it'll get done bit by bit.

I don't have a piece in this cinnamon colour yet, I have green and clear so far, so have only seen an image of the colour and it might be a trick of the camera and not cinnamon at all! ;D I've just checked and it is made in amber as well, as I found a set listed in amber on eBay.
