Can we have a picture in daylight without flash please. The pattern disappears with the green glow.

Is the moulding fairly rough? 

If so, they kinda remind me of those Victorian tankards that were sold containing jam or mustard with a cork or waxed cardboard lid.  I have a couple in a box somewhere, and one of them has uranium in it.  My recollection is that they are 1870s-80s French or Belgian or something like.
