I bought this jug a few days ago and just liked the colour.  It has some wear to the base and the pontil mark is finely ground.
A good shape with a clear glass handle.
A lovely golden yellow and 10" high.
Can any Whitefriars chaps help at all please, 'cos I don't collect jugs or Whitefriars.
Rosie.

Wishful thinking; it's almost certainly Krosno. I have a labelled one and one in a labelled box that are its first cousins. Don't ask me to find them though!

Thanks Chrisine and JP.  Actually,  I am not disappointed at all,  I really like Krosno glass, and this is a very vibrant colour, and cost £2.....so at least I can use it without feeling guilty!!  ;D

Thanks Emmi  :angel: ....I know absolutely nothing about Whitefriars glass except I can recognise a Dilly Duck from a mile away.   
I even had the cheek to tell Wayne that a Boffo duck wasn't what he was saying it was.....but that was a few years ago before I knew who he was and what a Boffo duck was!!
You good people have taught me a lot since then, and as you never stop learning until you die,  I guess I will just have to hang around for a few more years!! :sun:
