Nothing that I can spot. There is plenty of wear that forms a thin ring around the outer edge. The handle glows a faint green under UV so manganese is present.

My memory isn't as good as it was  :o who was the Bohemian maker who made all those mold blown bobbly globe shaped vases / tall big oval shaped vases with the same type pattern as the jug?  I used to have a large turquoise version of one of those vases.
Just wondering if there is any link between that mold design and the jug I suppose.

yes that's the one.

However, just realised they were mold blown and cut from the top - no pontil marks afaik, so probably not Borske Sklo as an option.
