Topic: Uranium frosted glass candlesticks leaves

[Simba]

I found another piece of uranium glass at the flea market this week . Its a part frosted candlestick with a pattern of leaves around the base with a lovely panelled column, the top is unfrosted and highly polished. Any ideas as to its identity, I am sure I have seen it before either here or on Ebay? It glows beautifully under UV

Finally figured out how to take pic's with UV....

Found the similar one on Ebay with a trinket tray...

Hmmmm I wonder if that's a marriage, Angela... ? The colour looks like a match but the pieces are stylistically different. Perhaps two pieces by the same maker from different sets?

Could be right there Anne.....hadn't considered that. Still hoping to find a partner to mine so back to the flea market tomorrow 

[Anne]

Fingers crossed for you.

hi Anne ...I bought the pink dressing table pieces similar to my Uranium candlestick. They appear to be  a set very nicely finished where the top surfaces and the base rim of tray have been polished giving a very nice effect. (Same effect on my uranium candlestick) the band of roses on the candlesticks are similar to the roses on the  Walther Rosen powder bowl I bought last week. (Curiously the seller of the Rosen bowl was also selling a  tray similar to this) Was the Rosen powder bowl part of a set ?

Lovely pieces Angela, the tray looks remarkably like a Davidson 283/4  or 6283 tray, I have seen Davidson pieces in this colour before with part frosted/satinised areas, what are the tray measurements?

[Simba]

Hi Jayne thanks for your reply the tray measures 33cms x 20 cms

Interesting Angela! I've just been and measured a couple of my Davidson trays in the garage and they are also 33cm x 20cm! The style is the same although the trays are clear colours. I do however have some of the matching short candlesticks in pink and satinised underneath.
