It looks fine to me, stylistically a match I'd have thought, and Powell glass (i.e. Whitefriars) would fit with Knox and Liberty. Price reflects what the auctioneers expect it to fetch as a quality piece - Fieldings are considered to know what they're doing re glass, but I'd await other opinions as well, as this is just my personal viewpoint. :)

Hi Thomas
I would think the glass is is rather more beautiful and colourful in reality! Plain yes, but I would think that the colour would be gorgeous. Perhaps you should look at sea green glass of a similar age on www.whitefriars.com which may give you a better idea? Personally, I would think buy or don't buy but don't buy with a view to replacing the glass! The photo concentrates on the handle only, perhaps it is a bad photo or maybe the auctioneer agrees with you that the glass isn't worthy and is deliberately drawing all attention to the handle!

the image is bad - anyway i asked them for a condition report and if they could imagine that the glass is a modern replacement - lets wait and see what happens ...!
there was another jug some months ago .... at wooley / wallis :
