They are a lovely rich emerald green in daylight and have a deep glow in UV light. Stand about 10cm tall.
-
They look like Bagley "David" Pattern 2231 (Version 1), not sure about the tray though. :)

Spot on, thank you. :smg: I don't know how I missed them when I researched on the gts site - but then, I did not have a Bagley connection and thought they were stylistically more Continental.
The tray is a mismatch, although identical colouring and came together.
Version 2 is much different with a less Art Deco and less (IMO) interesting candlestick.

Roy, yes Bagley David candlesticks. Nice! :mrgreen: The tray is Bagley too, hence the good colour match. :) It's the Victoria tray shown here in a catalogue image of Victoria version one: http://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms15/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=71 (http://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms15/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&Itemid=71) and a photo of my pink one (which is part of the Victoria version two pattern set which only seems to have been made in pink) http://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms15/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&Itemid=72&limitstart=1 (http://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms15/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&Itemid=72&limitstart=1) - so your green one will be for a Victoria pattern one set (i.e. the earlier version).

Interestingly the Wakefield Museum has 3 designs listed for Bagley "David", the third one having a rectangular tray.

The third one they have as David actually looks like Victoria (version one) to me.... see catalogue image here:

And that is definitely the tray I have - you can use the photographs on your website itf you like Anne.

I agree it looks like a Victoria tray even though it's not easy to see. I suppose there are all sorts of possibilities as to why that tray ended up with that set in the Museums pic and also in Roy's set. Lovely items by the way :)
-
What I meant was the whole set in the 3rd pic looks like Victoria, not just the tray... sorry it wasn't clear from what I wrote earlier cos I was tired and rushing. :-[
Roy, thank you, I'd be delighted to use them on the site. :kissy:

You're absolutely right Anne. I wasn't looking properly and always think of Victoria as the second set with the stubby candlesticks and powder pot with a handle(?) can't think of the word at the mo, probably as that's the one I like best of the two hehe!
