If it wasn't you posting it, I would say modern... I assume the base is standard mould blown?

Ivo I love that textured finish and design on the body of the jug and the tadpoles - really gorgeous.  But what is the handle like please?  Is it clear with red bits in it or is it totally red glass?
thanks

The base has a circular ground out pontil mark showing the base colour of the glass which is dark orange. The surface frit comes back in a little patch in the middle of the pontil mark. The drops on the outside are of a lighter colour orange than the glass. And the handle is clear glass powdered.
I've had this one for 25 years, so it may be recent - but not that recent...
