My research to verify my glass find as an FT58 Greek Key Jug, the 'real thing', has yielded some recent results. I received a reply from Andy McConnell (Antiques Roadshow etc.) who says
'I'm not sure that I've seen one, maybe one in a collection, some years ago', and he referred to it as
'a pretty rare item'. Andy suggested contacting the Smithsons (
Dartington Glass the First Twenty Years) and I received a very quick reply from Linda Smithson when I asked if this was the FT58 Jug, saying
'yes you have got it right, it is'.
I am delighted to have stumbled upon the jug, and it has confirmed my belief that rarer pieces are out there - so I will keep looking...
