Any ideas on what these might be would be much appreciated. All uranium glass - but photographed in daylight.
The first - a heavy four compartment dish. Stepped ray pattern on handles. Glows like a beacon and wonderfully silky smooth to the touch. I've checked Pamela's museum, and other links, including Jobling, without success.

The second - a jug with an unusual geometric shape base. This has been listed previously, but I was hoping it would be seen by others.

The third is shown above. A very delicate thin beaker 4" high with internal ribbing. I have two of these.
Many thanks :P

I think your divided dish is Bagley, I have a two compartment version with the same handles that I've always thought was Bagley as it's the same as the other Bagley frosted green uranium. I also had a feeling I got a postive id, but I can't remember where - not here anyway.
Pamela has your jug in pink I think, but it's not identified. I have a similar uranium jug with an out-curving arched base. This sort of style is quite desirable on you know where
-
Thank you Christine :P I didn't even consider Bagley for the green dish :roll: I snapped it up for £2 yesterday at a fleamarket.
I will check Pamela's site again for the jug - I must have missed the pink look-alike.
With regard to its desirability on "you know where..." I did see a very similar jug recently go for £37 ... YIKES(http://www.smileys.ws/smls/speechless/00000017.gif) but it didn't have an attribution and I can't remember if it was uranium glass or just plain.
I always wonder how safe it is using uranium glass for foodstuff - but it does look great :?
-
Anne, I haven't got a similar jug - perhaps Christine remembered this vase?
http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/vasen/00163.html
only information on this I can give is: bought in Scotland
both your bowl and jug look English to me also.
The mouthblown glass will be very difficult to identify I am afraid :?
-
Thank you Pamela :P . I just love the arched foot on your vase and my jug 8) . Am I right in my guess that this type of design is 1930s or even earlier?
My feeling is that the hand blown beaker is around that date also.
-
Oops, I have the green uranium jug to match Pamela's pink vase! :oops: I would say 1930s too. And I use a Walther centrepiece bowl for my fruit!
-
Anne,
I've checked the Bagley Glass book and can't see anything similar to either the Jug or compartment dish.
-
Christine, that's nice please SHOW your Walther fruit bowl :D
-
The jug below has the same pattern as Pamela's and the same style handle as Anne's jug. I've no idea who made it though.
This Picture of the jug was taken at my charity shop and the item is not owned by me.

Yep Tiger's found my jug in blue!
Here's a couple of pictures of my divided dish, one with with a Bagley Pontefract mini vase, showing why I think it's Bagley. Could the dishes be part of the Grantham or Wyndham suites?

I have been all the way through the Bagley book but I'm still convinced the serving dishes are Bagley - the glass looks the exactly same bluish green, it even feels the same. (Yes I've just been asked why I'm standing there fondling glass :oops: :shock: :lol: ) I also think I've seen a Queen's Choice candle stick - yes I know there's only supposed to be a powder bowl but that doesn't make sense - why a powder and nothing else. It's also in the same shop as a QC powder bowl in the same uranium green. Now I'm going to have to go and buy them!! and I don't even like the design!

Dear Anne, You wonder how safe it is to eat of uranium dishes etc. I can tell you I had the same worry with about 50 uranium hyacinth vases in my bedroom and how that would affect me sleeping there.A friend of mine , who works at a nuclear plant , posted all sorts of equipment in the room for a week and afterwards told me the output was the same as a microwave and that we carry in our own bodies even more so you can eat safe and I can sleep safe.

Those jugs look very much like some Australian ones.
Yes, Crown copied this pattern, whoever made the original.
-
Probably no further to the truth on the maker but here's my latest purchase.

As you can see, it resembles the jug. The lines on the base are the same too.
The handles looks similar to this unknown set on Pamela's site but the pattern is different.

I'm digging this one up again because there was a table set on ebay, see here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=002&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=120114660466&rd=1&rd=1) with the divided dish that I feel is Bagley, what looks to me like a Bagley Pendant bowl and a preserve pot that looks like it could be Bagley. Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether these might all be Bagley? The colour certainly looks right and it seems odd that they should appear as a set if they weren't bought together.
-
I also think I've seen a Queen's Choice candle stick - yes I know there's only supposed to be a powder bowl but that doesn't make sense - why a powder and nothing else. It's also in the same shop as a QC powder bowl in the same uranium green. Now I'm going to have to go and buy them!! and I don't even like the design!
Christine, did you ever go and buy these and if so, do you have photos please? This is a pattern I only have a catalogue image of on the trinket set site, so having photos of real pieces would be wonderful. :thup:
-
No I didn't, sorry.
-
Not to worry, was worth asking just in case. :)
I'll find one somewhere. :thup:

Anne E.B. - Don't worry about uranium. I would happily eat or drink anything (if I liked it!) out of uranium glass. The risks are no higher than those from glass containing lead, arsenic or anything else, which I would rate as nil.

Thank you Adam, that's very reassuring.
