This looks as though it should go along with the Bagley split diamond water set from 1937. I have one of the tumblers, and the pattern and the shade of the flint seem to match the vase.
I have the 3rd edition of Angela's Bagley book and CD, and the vase isn't in there.
Does anyone know whether Bagley made a vase in this pattern? Or whether anyone else did?

Can you give us the height, please Chris?

Of course. Duuh! :-[
15.5 cm / a fraction over 6"

Hi Chris, I don't think the pattern on your vase above matches the split diamond example shown in Bagley Glass 3rd edition (page142, or page 119 in 2nd edition for anyone who hasn't yet bought the revised 3rd version - if not, why not? It's good! 8))
The split diamond pattern is just that: a diamond split down the middle, whereas yours is more complex than that. I agree the shape of the vase looks like the split diamond vase though.
Perhaps Angela can add more - I'll drop her a line and ask if she can take a looksee for you. :thup:

Ah, thanks Anne.
I just realised that my vase's pattern has diamonds whose split is alternately vertical and horizontal whereas, with the Bagley pattern, the splits are vertical only.
My bad, as the young people say...
Back to the catalogues!

Just found this mustard pot in a box of bits.
3.5 cm tall and wide (without lid).
Its pattern seems as though it would be the same as the vase if it were only a little larger!
The lid is chromed base metal. The base is ground flat and polished.

I've been informed that this might be Davidson pattern 254. I know very little about Davidsons.
Can anyone confirm this? And suggest a design date?
Thanks

I've found the pattern in the 1940 catalogue, though not the vase itself.

The date of design would be nice to know, though.
