Topic: Art deco uranium pressed dish, jug and beaker.

I have been all the way through the Bagley book but I'm still convinced the serving dishes are Bagley - the glass looks the exactly same bluish green, it even feels the same.  (Yes I've just been asked why I'm standing there fondling glass :oops:  :shock:  :lol: ) I also think I've seen a Queen's Choice candle stick - yes I know there's only supposed to be a powder bowl but that doesn't make sense - why a powder and nothing else. It's also in the same shop as a QC powder bowl in the same uranium green. Now I'm going to have to go and buy them!! and I don't even like the design!

Dear Anne, You wonder how safe it is to eat of uranium dishes etc. I can tell you I had the same worry with about 50 uranium hyacinth vases in my bedroom and how that would affect me sleeping there.A friend of mine , who works at a nuclear plant , posted all sorts of equipment in the room for a week and afterwards told me the output was the same as a microwave and that we carry in our own bodies even more so you can eat safe and I can sleep safe.

Those jugs look very much like some Australian ones.

Yes, Crown copied this pattern, whoever made the original.

Probably no further to the truth on the maker but here's my latest purchase.

As you can see, it resembles the jug. The lines on the base are the same too.

The handles looks similar to this unknown set on Pamela's site but the pattern is different.

I'm digging this one up again because there was a table set on ebay, see here with the divided dish that I feel is Bagley, what looks to me like a Bagley Pendant bowl and a preserve pot that looks like it could be Bagley. Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether these might all be Bagley? The colour certainly looks right and it seems odd that they should appear as a set if they weren't bought together.

Christine, did you ever go and buy these and if so, do you have photos please? This is a pattern I only have a catalogue image of on the trinket set site, so having photos of real pieces would be wonderful. :thup:

[Lustrousstone]

No I didn't, sorry.

[Anne]

Not to worry, was worth asking just in case.

I'll find one somewhere. :thup:

Anne E.B.  -  Don't worry about uranium.  I would happily eat or drink anything (if I liked it!) out of uranium glass.  The risks are no higher than those from glass containing lead, arsenic or anything else, which I would rate as nil.

Thank you Adam, that's very reassuring.
