Probably because it is more intriguing and interesting Keith. And the 'who is it by factor'... :thup:

I've no doubt it's Opalina Fiorentina, but the bobbles seem to be quite different in Keith's piece.

I found this one recently and in the description it was attributed to Sklo Union. Am I correct in thinking this is wrong?

The Sklo Union group of factories only produced pressed glass, this is blown. These are found in different colours and shapes, cheerful enough, for no particularly good reason here is one in blue. ;D

Thanks for the guidance. In which case, as it isn't Sklo, who made these??

Opalina Fiorentina, Empoli. I've had a couple of pitchers using the same style of 'bobbles' in the past, one of which was labelled

Read back on the thread, the info is there

As Cathy mentioned earlier , the knobbles on Nic's jug look different to me.  The knobbles on the other three items in the thread all look as though they have come from the same place but Nic's jug looks different  :-\
