Not seen one before but looks like Bagley,shame the decor' has worn away,it is Bagley?

Looks like it Keith. What size is it?
-
Sorry,4 inches high ;D
-
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.

Thanks Anne,
might do that Christine ;D

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.

Image of my pink set on GlassGallery here (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-20714). Click the main image to enlarge.
Rather different to the more usual black polkadot and frosted green with painted flowers versions. The plinth sets it off really well.
