Topic: Amberina Glass Jug ID = Fire King (Anchor Hocking) Soreno

[dinklepip]

Quite a hefty large amberina glass jug and have scoured the internet with some certainty that I would find the maker and pattern quite easily.....but..........nope.  Am assuming this is an American piece

[cubby01]

Yes, and I should know that pattern but my memory is failing me.   .....

Ahh, a quick search fixed my memory.   What it looks like from here is Anchor Hocking's Soreno pattern.  I usually see it in green or gold.

PSS, dinklepip, add your general location to your profile and it will help others around the globe get a sense of where your items might be from.  Although I just realized it probably wouldn't have helped in this case as you're in the UK I guess.

hahah cubby I am soooo glad I am not the only one with a bad memory.  thanks hon, now I am frequenting the board more often I will update my profile a bit.  I shall now have a quick mooch on the net to see what I can find

[dinklepip]

wow just found lots of it thanks, google didn't pick anything up when I just did a search on amberina glass, in fact not one of the images I am looking at is amberina

[dinklepip]

and not one on ebay either

Maybe it's rare.  It's certainly the same mold pattern.  It's from the '60s.  IIRC it was also sold as Fire-King Soreno.

mmmmmmm tis looking rare at the moment, majority I have found is in the green as you mentioned, not one piece has come up in amberina

This points to a very old page but look for 'soreno' on the page and see a collector mentions "half red,half gold" as one of the colors they collect.
