Topic: Amber Uranium Glass Jug

[NevB]

I'm calling this amber glass but it's somewhere between amber and salmon pink. I've got several similar jugs with the ring moulding in green but it's unusual to see one in this colour. It has a large ground pontil and glows surprisingly well under UV. I'm thinking it may be by A.D. Copier for Royal Leerdam but can't confirm it, at least I think this one may be Dutch or French. Any thoughts are welcome.

Another photo to show the profile better and also to say it's 25cm. tall.

Can we see it in sunlight please, as I'm not convinced it's uranium glass

I have a similar jug. It's more rounded in shape and does not fluoresce  but it has similar features - hoops near the bottom, salmon pink colour, handle style and round polished pontil mark. I've always though of it as Whitefriars but I don't have any sources at the moment.

Christine, here's a photo of it outside, It might not show but there is a hint of green especially in the handle. I was looking at it last night and it really does glow in the dark. I've just this morning got a Geiger counter and it shows a reading of 30-35CPM, not as high as a Bernsdorf vase I have which reads 50-55CPM but certainly higher than background which is up to 18CPM. John here is a link to 20thcentury glass.com with the Whitefriars catalogues. I've had a quick look but found nothing to match. https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/glass_catalogues/glass_catalogues.htm

May be by Verrerie Doyen or one of the other Belgian makers.
