Thanks! This might have only been made in dark blue as I've yet to see any other colour - but three vases is hardly representative ATM :wink:
Sue, you need to use the later, more universal measuring system of CDs...
1 Posy Vase = 1.42 CD :twisted:

:shock::oops::shock:
I was going to use the more up-to-date CD unit, but as I'm from the vinyl generation ("Sir, I have a round, black plastic disc with a hole in the middle. Is this some sort of record?") I was unsure whether to use the height or the width of the CD as standard!
David E:
I've now posted a new page listing eBay sales of Handkerchief vases throughout May. I will try to do this every month, but can't guarantee this. Whether this becomes useful to anyone I can't say, but it may have the effect of stabilising prices.
Would be interested in any comments as the web page may be a little confusing at first.
There are now 88 with transfer patterns and 36 in 'Antique' coloured glass that I've noted :shock:
David E:
Drum fingers on desk... :lol: (only joking!)
I've decided that a ggreat name for the x-large Handkerchief vases (that is; 8" or 20cm high) would be:
The Hunky Hanky
:lol:
On a more serious note, I have been trying to track down which patterns these were made in and it would appear only a few.
Silk Screen: Cordon & Bandel-2*
Tinted: All except Cotswold and 'Chiselled'**
* Was this a mis-measurement? They are quite scarce anyway.
** The latter is scarce and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before one in Cotswold turns up.
Please note I have added five more unusual pieces to the Pressed GLass and Fiestaware pages.
