Even though I have been writing about and researching Bagley glass for the past ten years and more, there are some rare items that I have never seen. There are now over three thousand glass enthusiasts who are members of the GMB, and maybe some of you have these rare pieces in your collections. So if you have, or used to have, any of the following please can you let me know. Here is the list of items I would really love to see:
Bowl no. 3186 which has been named "Scarborough" The square stepped base with mitred corners which fits under the Perseus and Andromeda lampArt deco bookend shaped like a sail boatArt deco bookend with a curved top and straight line patterntrumpet shaped vase with flower band, registration number 790480bottle shaped vase with cut glass design, registration number 816035Acorn lamp shown in the 1937 Royal Visit bookletKookaburra (or Kingfish) wall lamp from the 1936 coloured Bagley catalogueThey are all pictured in our book on Bagley Glass, http://www.glass-time.com/orderbagleyglassbook.html, but the pictures of these particular items are from advertisements or catalogues or design drawings. I am not even sure if some of them were ever made. Any information or pictures would be really welcome.
Other rarities I've seen of which Angela, no doubt, would appreciate photographs are:-
934 Table Lamp with tilting shade support, similar in style to the Davidson Good Companion Lamp, with the shade drilled in the centre.Leek Andromeda Table Lamp, which is the reason for the bayonet fitting version of Andromeda. The same lamp was also fitted with a rocket, probably not by Bagley as it's the wrong colour.3025 Tulip Lamp with close-fitted bakelite base incorporating a switch.3025 Tulip Lamp, Zimmerman version covered in chrome leaves.
