This is approximately 6.5" tall and a bit over 3" wide at the top.  It has some hints of green and purple in the glass. The stand has four ovoid cut-outs.  Any help or ideas on ID are appreciated.  Thanks!

There are hints of purple and green near the base.  It obviously looks different depending on lighting.

You can add four pictures at a time; just keep clicking the more attachments link below the attach box.

The colour looks to be caused by iridising (metal salts sprayed on the hot glass). What colour is the base glass when you hold it up to the light?

Colour looks like Steuben Aurene I think. The foot is not promising though.

Bagley is pressed glass, not blown, and never iridised

It looks and feels more like Steuben glass to me.  I searched pictures of Bagley glass and didn't see anything that looked remotely like it although I did find a Steuben vase in blue with silverplated base. The form of the glass was more of a cone than a trumpet flower but it did have a metal base and I suspect this copper base was probably silverplated at one time.  Thanks everyone for your input.
