Plum Squash Set 60s?
« on: March 12, 2008, 07:33:56 PM »
Hi
   can any one tell me if this is a 60s squash set, and whom made it, i think the colour is plum but could be purple, it has gold ring's top middle and bottom.

The jug stands 11ins high and the glasses 6ins high, there are four glasses could have been six but am not sure, pontil is polised there is also some etching on both glasses and jug, well i think it is called etching, like this very much what are your opinions please

Water or lemonade sets are notoriously difficult to identify, although that colour is unusual. I probably wouldn't search for plum; try adding +purple or +amethyst to your search. I would speculate 50s, 60s or 70s. The etching is frosting
