frank & keith.
thank you both for the id, i was really pleased when i brought these two peices. and the price we paid for both of them as a set. ;)  it wasnt till we got home that i notice a chip right underneath the rim  and when you look inside the top of the decanter right were the chip is there is a crack. but you cant see it from the out side and only feel it a little in the inside as the glass is quiet thick. and dark. but the jug is in mint condition. kind regards kim & ed :)

I came by a Bristol blue jug marked with the 'THOS WEBB' or 'THOMAS WEBB' sand-blasted mark. I think these ones are usually marked, or are they not?
