Topic: Looking for ID of this opaque Deco uranium bowl please.

[createdbear]

Hello all, can someone please give me some info on this bowl? It is an opaque creamy colour and as the 2nd photo shows, is rather Art Deco in design. The glass is quite thin. A lovely glow under UV. Can't find anything on Google. Thank you as always for any help.

It looks rather Dutch to me: perhaps Leerdam

Hello Christine, than you for your input. Yes, I see a few pieces of the same colour...Copier? Can't see one that is a bowl the same as mine but everything adds up.

Is Belgium perhaps a contender as well?

It also looks quite like the Walsh Walsh desert bowl shown in pl.40 in Reynolds’ book.

It does but that was a part of the last ditch efforts to continue operations post-war according to p38, so even if the pl40 bowl went into production, using uranium glass seems unlikely to me

Yes, on page 38 the comments relate to pls.35, 37, 38, and 40 as a group, saying further experiments were pursued in relation to colour and basic design. Pl.40 is the bowl that looks like the op’s but pl.38 is a yellow vase that looks like it could be uranium so maybe uranium was still in use? The jug pl.34 is uranium although it doesn’t say when that was made.

Walsh did make a lot of items in that uranium yellow of pl38 (and in that moulded pattern) but not in opaque uranium yellow to my knowledge. Interestingly, the pl40 bowl is not marked, unlike everything else mentioned on p38, so how did Reynolds determine it was Walsh Walsh, as the shape doesn't appear in the pattern books...
