Purchased these two little hankey vases that i believe maybe bagley granthem vases in uranium the have slightly raised made in england underneath and are in superb condition they measure 4" high also. Thanks for looking. :thup:

But probably not uranium to my eye.

In case you are interested here is its original design registration from Kew -you need to go to a different file to know the registration number is logged with Bagley

cheers

Fascinating to see the drawing, thanks for showing it. Note how thin the glass is in the drawing though: in reality it is a much thicker wall. Does it mention the designer's name?

[Mike M]

Hi

No alas no designer name -you are looking at the entire registration -As I said a different file tells you that the registration number is Bagley.

Drawings like this are quite rare, usually they are photos, often of the Maquette

cheers

Thanks Mike, had to ask - do you have anymore drawings like this?

I also meant to say that the green frosted models always appear to be uranium, but that almost certainly would have changed during/after World War II

I do have photos of almost all the major Jobling pieces from that time (all photos not drawings) -about 30-35 plus a few odd interesting pieces I found amongst them (like the Grantham)

They were taken at Kew with permission to use noncommercial only

cheers
