How unusual to think of UGB glass being silver overlaid. I always thought it was more utility glass than something that would be used in a silver casing. Pamela, is the silver real hallmarked silver or is it silver coloured, pewter perhaps, or one of the other silver-coloured meals whose names I can't just call to mind.

Thank you, Anne, Sue and Frank!
What does UGB stand for? United Glass Bottle manufacturing co?  ;D

To cut the story short: this item originates from Shanghai, China, where my parents-in-law lived during the Thirties and Fourties. They returned to Europe in 1950 resp. 1951.

The silver pattern is in fact very Chinese, showing dragons, clouds etc.
My fil also gave work to the orphanage in Shanghai by ordering huge embroideries. Maybe he himself liked this bottle and has had it decorated this way to give it a better look - I know he liked Whisky 8) Unfortunately he passed away in 1982 already and I cannot ask... :'( My mil wouldn't even recognize it today, very sad about her.

The silver is stamped:
SILVER   and    ZEESUN.. (may read 'Co')

Pamela, that is fascinating, thank you for telling us the story, and what a great piece to have in the family.  (Do you have pictures of the embroideries as well?)

Lacking an answer I finally googled UGB tonight - surprise, surprise - that's why nobody answered my question regarding UGB - I had just tried to interpret, but now I know, it is United Glass Bottle Manufacturing Co. - never heard of before and don't know anything about them except Wikipedia meanwhile  :-X
