Antique Bagley Frosted Green Uranium Glass Ring Posey-Handpainted flowers

Bagley Frosted Green Uranium Glass Ring Posey-Handpainted flowers.

The distinct hollowed out, rounded donut shape with a central groove or open channel is highly characteristic of an early 20th-century depression glass flower frog (designed to sit at the bottom of a bowl to hold plant stems) or a low-profile circular ring vase.


Decoration: The floral patterns painted on the surface are aftermarket hand-painted decorations (often done by home hobbyists or decorators during the era), rather than factory-standard paint.

Bright green fluorescent glow under UV light makes it highly desirable to uranium glass collectors, often paired with a matching set component , a central bowl, frog or figure.


The Manufacturer

This piece is almost certainly manufactured by Bagley & Co. (originally Bagley, Wild & Co.), a major British glassworks company based in Knottingley, Yorkshire.

During the 1930s Art Deco era, Bagley was famous for its pressed green uranium glass lines. They frequently produced this specific circular shape, which they cataloged and marketed as a "Posy Ring Vase" or "Posy Ring". The open ring channel was designed to be filled with water so small, short-stemmed cut flowers could be arranged in a circle, often acting as a tabletop centerpiece surrounding a central bowl or figurine.


Collector Appeal: The hand-painted flowers make it a unique, charming curiosity


A 5.5-inch inner diameter is the definitive piece of evidence confirming this is a Bagley & Co. Art Deco Posy Ring (specifically part of their table centerpiece suites from the 1930s). The full diameter is 7.6 inches.


Currently the ring contains oasis material for putting in flowers but I can remove if required
