:D Hi Paul, yours is the Sowerby, not the Bagley. Well done Leni. :D. Thanks for putting me straight on the Bagley, Peter, I wasn't thinking of that pattern, though, just couldn't remember the correct maker of this one. :oops:

Thanks to everyone, particularly Kay and Leni for putting me right on this. I'm chuffed to bits for my £2 worth, especially knowing what it is. Might well be the first of many.

Leni:
Hello Kay, Nice to meet you. Great to find another pressed glass fan! :D
Kay, can you tell me what figure might have stood in the centre of my 'Frog and Bullrush' bowl? I would really like to get one, but not sure what I should look for. I would think a fish would be appropriate, but you never know with Sowerby :roll: Or perhaps *you* do? :wink:
Also, can you tell me the difference between 'Lily' and 'Iris'? I've seen both names used indiscriminately! :roll:

Please excuse me "butting-in" - in the Frog and Bullrush bowl, a small 3" flower block was used. The flower holder in the centre of the Frog & Bullrush vase was a simple "Star" holder. It has 8 points around a central hole. It is similar to the star holder that is also in the Lily and Iris vases/table centres. The holder was made in 3 sizes.
Lily is the points up vase - Iris is the points down.
