Looks like it Keith. What size is it?

Thanks Keith. I just checked both the Bagley book and the CD book version and Angela doesn't give sizes for these other than saying there are 3 sizes and the smallest measures 2½" tall.

Pontefract Museum has some pics of them without sizes here:

You could, if you wanted remove the bits of decor, as these things came with and without.

Just to record it somewhere ..............

I've just bought a pink medium (same size as Keith's) unfrosted Bagley handkerchief vase as a 3-piece flower set, complete with pink 7-hole flower block and tiny black plinth, both with the Bagley "MADE IN ENGLAND" relief lettering around the underside.    I bought it from an excellent source, a local lady who buys from car boots, jumble sales, and charity shops, and then sells at a local antiques fair when she has enough stock to fill a single stand, so a later mix and match is unlikely.

So it looks as if Bagley were prepared to supply the medium handkerchief vase as a 3-piece flower set.   I will take a photograph if anyone has trouble imagining it.   The plinth sets it off really well.

Rather different to the more usual black polkadot and frosted green with painted flowers versions.   The plinth sets it off really well.
