Czech or Italain prunted jug?

(1/1)

palo400:
Hello
Pick this piece up and thought of Borske at first on compairing with other Borske pieces this one looks handmade.
Stands 23cm high widest diameter 17cm, celery handle and seems to have a prunt on the base.
Thanks.

Lustrousstone:
That looks like a pontil mark to me not a prunt (a prunt is an applied blob of glass).

I wonder whether is it English perhaps late 19th or early 20th century. I don't think it's Czech (maybe Bohemian) or Italian.

palo400:
Sorry pontil is what I meant, must have had prints on the brain when posting.
Thanks for that it just looks in good condition for early 19th 20th century, but I suppose things where built to last back then.
Thanks again.

Wayne:
For comparison, here's a knobbled Borske vase, similar base, but no pontil mark:



If it is Borske, I wonder if the pontil mark was necessary from when they added the handle?

Here's a different Borske jug (at least I'm pretty certain it's Borske) that does have a pontil mark:
