Title: Bagley Glass Candlesticks or Not? ID = Bagley
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on July 14, 2015, 05:38:42 PM

Help please to ID these uranium glass what would appear to be candlestick holders I think.

My first thought was that they looked very like Bagley and even the seller said they looked very Bagley . I cannot find anything else like them so now quite unsure.

They glow well under a UV light.

Diameter 4" / 10cm
Height just under 1.5" / 3.5cm

Thanks Roy

Definitely Bagley: Quebec candlestick/bloom trough, made 1938-1975. Yours is early because it's uranium. Nobody else made that bluish green in my experience

Thank you Christine for confirming that they are Bagley. I cannot remember seeing one before and cannot find one on the web having searched for a few minutes. I assume they are mentioned in the Bagley book which I must put on my want list.

Thanks Roy

Roy, they were made from 1938 - 1975 according to the book Bagley Glass (Bowey, Parsons and Parsons) in clear and frosted colours and jetique. Diameter was, as you say, 4". :)
