Topic: Small liquer glass with RDnumber

[essi]

Picked up 2 of these glasses today . They are 85 mm high and show a nice green under UV light.
The number on the base is Rd No 277168. My blue book numbers start at 52......
Could anybody shed any information on date of design and manufacture ?.
Thank you,
Tim

This number was registered to Jules Lang on 4 June 1896, but Lang was an importer/wholesaler, so we don't know who made them

Yellow-green uranium glass examples (highly reactive to UV light) are also seen occasionally.

Was Jules Lang operating out of the UK and are the glasses lightly to be British or continental?

Jules Lang was (is, the name is still in use, but I don't know if it's the same company) a UK company and got its glass from all over, so who knows. A board search will confirm this
