This is a steel blue vase designed by Ronald Stennett-Willson in 1960 for Lemington Glass (Newcastle). This shape was also later produced by Wedgwood/Kings Lynn with a very slight alteration to the shape and in different colours. An early piece of Stennett-Willson design.

Lovely, it amazes me that so many labels survive. In those days I would've been tempted to remove them

I think a lot of labelled drinking glasses survive for various factories - especially the better factories - because people get given them as gifts (almost always wedding gifts, it seems), the glasses are deemed too good to use everyday, and so get put in a cupboard for special occasions that never arise, subsequently they are forgotten. It's kind of sad, really.

The lilac sherries came with their original box, which was designed by Stennett-Willson and his wife, Elizabeth Martens:

Nice, it's either Wedgwood or Kings Lynn - they both produced these. I've had two of the 'matching' bowls one had the Wedgwood etched mark to the base the other didn't, am presuming the unmarked one was Kings Lynn production.
