This claret jug was determined to be Abbey glass from Stevens and Williams
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,45011.msg250949.html#msg250949

it doesn't have the same look as the Della's mug at all:

But ... this vase signed W& C England for Webb Corbett does seem to have similarities in colour (it matches a shape in a Webb Corbett Agate Flambe advert in CH British Glass and also a piece on the Black Country History website)

just wondering... like you do.

On the minus side, I've not seen any Webb Corbett Agate Flambe containing the green splotches that can be seen in the mug and the other pieces.

It's not identical I know.  But when I saw it, it immediately reminded me of this mug and decor,so just putting it in the discussion.
I'm not sure Webb Corbett has been suggested for these odd mugs/tankards that never get an id, and there isn't any reason why it shouldn't be them I don't think.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for this tankard, M.
I think in future I will stick with glass I know, but I can't help myself  ::) ::) ::)
If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

Della it's a really pretty decor.  I can't believe we've not cracked this one yet because there are a few pieces around to get a guide on shapes.
