I believe this might be a Davidson piece but i stand to be corrected. It does have a glow under UV but not as strong as other pieces i have.So i am inclined to think it is due to added manganese which i believe was used to make green. But testing other green pieces they don't glow as well as this. It is a half pint mug any info out there would be appreciated thanks in anticipation Mark. More photos here

Hi,
     It is not a Davidson piece. I think it is bySowerby.

Regards

This mug is pictured in the book by Walker and Biss (p. 94 in the middle at the bottom of the page), but they do not indicate the colors in which it is known. My wife and I have the same mug in amber, and the round area containing the portraits is nicely frosted by acid etch.

Thanks for that one and all just had a search and found this George V by Sowerby very similar. Why i did not think to put in sowerby before i will never know

That colour looks like chromium, probably with some iron and maybe a little uranium.  Certainly no manganese, which gives violet or purple.
