Pink serving dish ID = Bagley "Alexandra"
« on: February 24, 2006, 09:29:56 PM »
A large (28 x 20 cm) frosted (sand blasted on the back, rather than acid treated I think) dull-pink three-compartment serving dish. Quite thick glass with a deep raised pattern of what look like poppies on the back. Can't find anything like it on Pamela's site. Can anyone help with an ID?

Thank you Bernard, didn't think the quality was quite Bagley though and the designer had never seen a rose leaf! Ordering book now!!

Christine  Sorting for MK (1950 dateline  the most difficult dateline ever), I have just unpacked a plain 8-flower Alexandra in blue.    Checking with Keble Martin, the flowers and leaves are definitely marigold / daisy family, not rose.

I doubt whether I can put it out for sale, as it will cost more to display than its slender profit margin justifies.

What do I do?   Charity shop or free gift to my first Bagley customer?   Any suggestions?
