Title: Uranium Glass Candlestick
Post by: auliya on May 11, 2009, 06:15:07 AM

Hi,
I was hoping that someone may be able to help me identify this uranium glass candlestick. It stands 8 inches high, is quite heavy and has a number of bubbles in the glass from manufacture. The green is a really "blue" green, as opposed to a "yellow" green. I have seen a Bagley Equinox vase in a similar colour, but can't find any reference to a candlestick like this attributed to Bagley. Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I can't find it in my book, but it's not Bagley. It's too early for a start. Bagley only made bottles until 1912 and this is 1880/90s. A guess would be Percival Vickers or one of the other Lancashire glass houses, they seem to have favoured that lovely bluish green. I am  :mrgreen: Out of interest can you weigh it for me please.
