Glass / Re: Purple Bagley Tulip Lamp
« Last post by theElench on Today at 05:25:26 AM »Companies like Walther and Davidson were introducing new colours during the 30's, in connection with their "Ora" and "Oralit" ranges. Might Bagley have thought it was being left behind and trialed a few pieces of "Amethyst" during the same period ?
Or could it be that Bagley tried it out during the 50's when post war Austerity was easing with new colours and designs becoming more common again?
Another thought, having read that Sowerby bought some Davidson moulds when they closed, did someone buy the Bagley lamp moulds and produce some examples after Bagley shut down ? Purple was a popular colour for decor in the 70's.
