Nappy Dish, Bagley Glass, Katherine Pattern, Frosted Pressed Glass and Silverplate, England, Vintage 1950s–70s

"Nappy" is one of those words that tells you immediately you're in the world of serious collectors — a shallow open dish, no rim, flat-bottomed, made for the table or the dressing room with equal elegance.

This Bagley Glass Katherine nappy, pattern #3182, pairs frosted pressed glass with a silverplate pedestal base stamped Made in England. The ruffled border is decorated with hand-applied glass floral dots — a small, considered detail that lifts it well above ordinary pressed glass. Bagley introduced this Art Deco-influenced design in the 1950s, and it remains one of their most sought-after patterns. Some darkening under the silverplate base is consistent with age and is photographed — priced accordingly. Versatile enough for nuts, candy, soap, or jewelry — or simply displayed as the pretty object it is.

A lovely gift for a Bagley Glass collector, an Art Deco enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates English pressed glass at its most refined.
