I think it might be Sowerby but will have to check. If I remember right the figure is from Greek mythology.

Definitely Sowerby - Perseus - the winged messenger is your fairy depiction... I have the pink, amber, green, blue and clear versions! They're delightful!

Certainly not Perseus, who was a hero and great-grandfather of Heracles/Hercules. The figure on this vase is Hermes, or so says Adam D. who used to work at Sowerby. Also known to collectors as Mercury. (Hermes is Greek, Mercury is the Roman equivalent).
