Light green jug ID please
« on: October 18, 2014, 05:20:20 PM »
Hi everyone.

Hope your all well.

I need your help again please  ::)

Can anyone give me any info on this light green glass Jug please.

It has lots of tiny bubbles within the glass

Stands just over 7-1/2 inches high and 4-1/2 inches wide.

Thanks

Rach

Is it uranium glass?
It looks a bit like a colour known as "jadeite", which would be uranium and might help track down a maker - the colour is very distinctive - but you need somebody who knows more about this area than I do.  :)

could you do a much clearer photo of the base please?
Is it just completely flat and then curved up the sides for example, or does it have mold marks i.e. dimples etc in it?
thanks

That looks like a mould-blown base, thanks for the extra pics! :)
Now I know there's no uranium, I am completely stumped.  ???

It might be difficult to track down a maker. Jugs are quite notoriously difficult to identify.

Hi Sue.

Thanks for coming back too me.

I did have a plate and some glasses I put on here maybe a year ago and the colour and bubbles are very close.

I think the name was (Schneider).

Could this be the same??

Thanks

Rach

I don't know about Schneider and couldn't seem to find anything similar although I can see why you thought maybe.
I know what I thought it was, but I'm thrown by the mold blown base and firepolished rim (it does have a firepolished rim doesn't it? or is it cut bevelled and polished ? - I thought it looked firepolished)
Personally I think it looks like it might have had a lid as well. Is there a small lip on the inside at the bottom of the rim where a lid might have sat?

It was an english company I was thinking of. I'll track down an image.

The company I was thinking of was Stevens and Williams. I thought it looked the same as the S&W posy vase on this page of Lustrousstone's Uranium Gallery in her album. There are a couple of images in this link.
