I just purchased this beautiful frosted uranium dressing table set, it glows wonderfully under UV. I understand it is by Reich and dates from 1930's but does anyone know the pattern name or number . Unfortunately the tray is badly damaged and there is one small pot missing. But I will keep looking for replacements. Thanks for your help everyone....but hope you like the pictures even if you can't help.

No doubt you've see Pamela's pink version - against which there also appears to be an absence of any name. Looking at your set and Pamela's there seems to be two separate sets of sticks - differing in height - you appear to have a taller version. These frosted sets, especially in uranium, are always very attractive, so nice find :) Regret I'm unable to help with a name.

I had seen Pamela's set, its always the first place I look, but hadn't noticed the candlesticks were different. I have attached a picture of the candlestick on its own. Well spotted thanks. :)
-
Hurray!! I have managed to find a perfect replacement tray for this set just need a small trinket pot now. .......anyone want a broken tray ;D
-
Very deco looking pattern - in uranium with satin surface finish. I can't see a Reich catalogue and this information comes from Pamela's pressglas-pavillon site, which describes this as being from the 1934 catalogue - so a big thank you to Pamela, as usual. ;D Is there an easily accessable cataloge for this factory?? - I may have missed it somewhere. I have used the torch, and it does glow.
If anyone would like to use this picture, they're more than welcome. :)

Pattern 9009, Paul, and one I don't yet have on GTS, so I'll add your pic if I may?
-
thanks for the pattern No. Anne - and yes, please do add to the GTS :)
-
This is the rest of the set (one small trinket pot missing). It also comes with shorter candlesticks ;D Anne you may use these pics too if you want
-
That's super, thanks Angela. :)

Some more pic's for you Anne :)

Thanks to Pamela showing the S. Reich & Co. ca.1934 musterbuch online, I can now identify a green uranium glass lidded trinket pot on file as Reich’s 8884, illustrated on page 67:

Here are some more sets for reference.
A set in unfrosted green uranium glass, and with the pattern 9009 short candlesticks with horizontal ribbing or rings all the way up the stem as on page 64 of the Reich 1934 musterbuch at

and on Pamela’s site at

A set (lacking the large lidded trinket pot) in unfrosted blue glass.
A set in frosted blue (that looks to be of a slightly different hue to the unfrosted blue set) but lacking one of the small lidded trinket pots. This has the taller candlesticks as in Angela’s set (with horizontal ribs or rings at the top of the stem and vertical ribs below), and sports a ringholder rather than a pin dish. The ringholder seems to be in a compatible style and is the same frosted blue colour as the other pieces, so I assume that it is a correctly-matched piece (but I’m sure someone will let me know if it is a mismatched piece).

like most of us, I have parted with so much over the last few years - us mere mortals can't hope to keep it all.
In the main I don't lay awake at night sobbing over these dear departed pieces - but just now and again I shed a small tear for something - and deco inspired designs like this Reich pattern give me just a twinge now and again - especially in satin uranium. I'm sure the appeal of such things lies as much in the general sense that cultural art and design was a far greater vibrant part of life in the deco period, but is something that we no longer cultivate or find interesting.
I hope someone is giving it some tlc. ;)

Thank you all for the extra pics... I'm still trying to get stuff added to the GTS website but it's hard at the mo as I'm looking after my frail elderly Mum (she's 85!) pretty much full-time and still working at my day-job in between, when she nods off and after she goes to bed. Rest assured I'm amassing stuff, so when it does go onto GTS there will be loads to enjoy! :) x

I have the ring holder of this set in pink clear, pink frosted, green clear and green frosted. And... I know now that I have to look for a blue frosted one.... Next monday I'll upload a photo. Bit lack of time.

As promised!
Hi Fred and Eugenie, yes the ring holder is a mismatched piece, this set comes with the pin dish and the ring holder belongs to this set:
