well, wouldn't you just throw this in the bin if you didn't know better
According to Barrie Skelcher this is a type of glass known as Graniver which was produced by Leerdam (Dutch) in the mid 1920's - for all I know maybe they still make it, but I've put 'Graniver Leedrdam' and 'Graniver' in the search and nothing comes up - so either it's rare, or I've got it wrong. In the flesh it's a little more limey than the picture in the book which appears more creamey.
In case you can't see them, there are relief moulded honey bees around the lid and pot, but not easy to see in the pic. Skelcher describes the glass as having a "coarse, ceramic like finish and is made by using coarse sand in the mix. It is a pressed article"
It really is of a very modern looking tacky manufacture, and I thought just what re-cylced glass might appear as, and nearly binned it - having only picked it up because of the obvious uranium content - I'd never have thought it had age.
Stands 5.25" (135mm) tall with lid in place - and no marks that I can see.
Can anyone add any further information?? Was Graniver made in uranium only?? Thanks for looking.
