Title: A Bagley Centrepiece/bowl? - ID = Sowerby 2487
Post by: Tinker-Taylor on October 13, 2009, 05:03:10 PM: Hello

I have a feeling this might be Bagley, but only because I have often seen larger but similar ones described as such. Would love to know for sure. I am hoping for glass books for Christmas, so I hope to save you so much trouble in 2010!

Anyway, it's 2¼" tall by just under 5¾" long and 3" wide.

Thanks in advance,
Stuart.

Post by: Adam on October 14, 2009, 03:12:40 PM: Chistine - If it is Sowerbys this would be S2487, not L2487. The L version was much bigger. You are probably right but I am a little hesitant about it but can't put my finger on just why. Probably just senility.

Post by: Lustrousstone on October 14, 2009, 03:31:42 PM: Oops, didn't look at the size during my very quick look at the catalogue CD :-[ It's much smaller than mine, so not fruit bowl either (mine holds real fruit ;D though). I think I read centre piece and assumed, and we know what that does.

While I've got your attention Adam, would you look at this please http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,26104.msg144848.html#msg144848

:)

Thanks all,
Stu.

Post by: Tinker-Taylor on October 17, 2009, 06:18:26 PM: Actually it does a bit (with my UV pen). I suppose one would need a higher wattage UV to make it glow more intensely??????

Anyone?

:) :) :)

Post by: Lustrousstone on October 17, 2009, 06:37:53 PM: It's not the wattage; it's the wavelength of the UV. It varies from LED to LED and striplight to striplight. If it does a bit and as it's Sowerby, it probably is uranium. My reaction from your picture was that it did. The edges had a sort of fuzzy green you learn to recognise. I don't think non-uranium Sowerby green glows at all, but can't lay my hands on a piece ATM. I think there's one in a box somewhere...

It might be worth lashing out on a slightly dearer UV light.
