Bagley Duchess pattern 3103, two-piece rose bowl, dating from c.1939 (Bagley Glass, Bowey & Parsons) - except yours is missing the top piece.  http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-650 and http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-651

Evening Anne
                  Thought there was a top to it but not sure, still nice but will have to keep my eye's out for a top now, many thanks for listing it for me, bought several piece's today even some 70s squash jugs and glass sets which i will put up in a bit could be wrong about the year though,
                                                                                                                                                                              cheers
                                                                                                                                                                               steve

Hi Steve, email me your address - I've just found a spare uranium green top lurking in my cupboard which you can have with pleasure. :)

Does it glow bright green under a UV light?

In that case it may NOT be uranium. Early Bagley green is but later isn't, and they made some of their designs for 20 years or more. I can't tell from that photo. Can you take me one in daylight. The only way to confirm much green uranium is with a UV light. Even your Sowerby vase may not be uranium.
