No, you should not be alarmed. Yes, it glows bright green under UV light. Yes, that is completely normal and also completely brilliant. This is a \u003cstrong\u003eBagley uranium glass Art Deco footed bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e, made in England in the 1930s, and it is one of the most visually arresting pieces of pressed glass you will ever own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBagley \u0026amp; Co. of Knottingley, Yorkshire were one of Britain's leading pressed glass manufacturers, and their uranium glass pieces — made with a small percentage of uranium oxide added to the batch — are among the most collectible of the era. The uranium gives the glass that distinctive pale green colour in daylight, and under a UV blacklight it erupts into an intense, electric green glow that stops people mid-sentence. Every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe form is a classic Art Deco elongated oval — pointed at both ends, wide and shallow, raised on four small pressed feet. The interior features a bold geometric relief pattern of radiating panels and a central oval boss, all crisp and sharp as the day it came out of the mould. The scalloped rim adds a final flourish of period elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe feet show some light wear marks consistent with age and use — honest patina on a piece that has clearly been appreciated over the decades. The bowl itself is in very good condition with no chips or cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 x 17.5 x 4 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 802 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uranium pressed glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bagley \u0026amp; Co., Knottingley, England\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art Deco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e circa 1930s\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good — light wear on feet, no chips or cracks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUV reactive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — glows bright green under blacklight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDisplay it in daylight for understated elegance.

However, Maison de L'oro accepts no responsibility for the uncontrollable urge to buy a UV torch immediately upon receiving this bowl, nor for the subsequent 45 minutes spent shining it on every piece of glass in your home to see what else glows. This is a known side effect of uranium glass ownership. There is no cure.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison de L'oro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53076369408343,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/4388\/5911\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_c5028c00-5023-488c-8651-3c1e1afd25bb.jpg?v=1774114371","url":"https:\/\/maisondeloro.com\/products\/bagley-uranium-glass-art-deco-footed-bowl-c-1930s-england","provider":"Maison de L'oro ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
