Title: Art deco blue frosted clock surround
Post by: oyemicanto on June 19, 2008, 09:54:49 AM: Any clues to the maker? At first I thought it was Walthers Waldorf clock but I dont think it is,feels more like a bagley blue.

Post by: Wayne on August 03, 2011, 05:01:14 PM: Looks very Bagley-ish to me, as does the blue one in this (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,21659.0.html) thread, I'm wondering if it could be an as yet unknown Bagley design? Someone in the know will probably tell us I'm barking up the wrong tree though...

Post by: Hannah B on August 03, 2011, 05:22:26 PM: Thanks ..... I have a Bagley Grantham green uranium clock marked with British glass undernieth, but the one above has no marks, is a solid piece of glass and heavier and tbh looks earlier than my Bagly clock and is a much more yellowy coloured glass ...... I've spent hours and hours searcing for it but to no avail .... Cross eyed now lol

Post by: Hannah B on August 03, 2011, 05:49:08 PM: Thanks .... The above clock and my Bagley are very different greens and the above feels much better quality as its a solid piece of glass and very pretty and very bright under uv ....

Post by: John Smith on December 16, 2012, 05:19:00 PM: I have the very same clock in frosted pink. The glass is almost identical to that of Bagley, but as you say, this is not catalogued as a Bagley piece. I am none the wiser of its maker. The annoying thing, is that there is the remains of a moulded mark inside of the base of my example. It can also be noted that the mouldings are the same both sides. No doubt to make to easy work of fitting the clock at the distributors.

Post by: John Smith on December 16, 2012, 05:32:10 PM: Hannah B: The yellow glass may be the pointer. Very few glass factories used it for press moulded glass of this style, that I can think of. I had not thought of that, and your example is a joy. oyemicanto: I also considered it to be the Waldorf pattern, its very similar. The clock movement in my example reads "FOREIGN"... which is hardly any help at all!

Post by: Lustrousstone on December 16, 2012, 05:45:45 PM: Hannah's clock is green, but a shade that has a hint of yellow about it
