Art Deco Uranium Glass Bowl Attributed to Sowerby – Frosted Green, c.1920s–30s
A beautiful Art Deco uranium glass bowl, attributed to Sowerby and dating to the 1920s–1930s. The design closely matches documented Sowerby examples from the period, though this piece carries no maker’s mark.
Crafted in pressed frosted (satin) light green glass, the bowl features a distinctive scalloped rim and geometric panelled sides, with a bold starburst pattern pressed into the base. In natural light it appears a soft pale green with a satin finish, and under UV light it glows a vivid bright green, consistent with uranium glass.
