Topic: Cut glass jug (might be old)

[Tigerchips]

Another cut glass item, this time a jug. I thinks it's old. There's plently of ware to the base.

Thanks Tony.

Well it's certainly not new. It's very butch sort of cut glass

Hi Tony,

I have seen that partial diamond cutting pattern on a late Victorian water jug - you know, the rather austere sort with straight slightly angled sides and a very stable base. The water jug was otherwise plain apart from some quarter printies around the rim but not on the spout or near the handle. Sorry - it's hard to describe in words something I can visualise in my mind's eye!

I though it might be Victorian but I didn't like to say. Compared to my other cut glass, which I presume are old themselves, this one has a faint hint of yellow in it.
