ID required for Green Glass

Items were my grandmothers (1888-1968).  No identifying marks that I could see.  The bowl and the jugs don't appear to exactly match, but the bowl did have 6 footed goblets and 2 glasses with handles at one time (now sadly gone).

 :hi: and welcome to GMB!
Please, would you tell us where you are situated?
The bowl looks Australian to me - just a wild guess !  :pb:

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

I'm in England.  As far as I'm aware we have no relatives in Australia although my great-grandfather (my grandmother's father) was Italian.

You're better off posting a piece at a time in separate threads please. Your large jug looks like a Sowerby 2481 5.5 in jug from the water set. I can't see your small jug well enough, but it looks like the 2481 cream jug. Difficult to tell from the picture but I would say they were well post war because of the colour (earlier ones look more yellow green and contain uranium, like this one http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=874)

Thank you very much - I took a look on the internet and found an amber Sowerby jug with one of the footed goblets which I remember my grandmother had, so it seems definitely Sowerby.  Any idea about the bowl?  It is defintely a lighter green than the jugs with a hint of yellow when compared to the jugs.
