Thanks Christine, I've had a trawl through Reynolds book  :o and there are some similarly shaped pieces in the pattern books but I think they are all cut glass. I'll bear Walsh in mind but I'm still leaning towards French. Paul, as with the tumblers I posted you have to get it just right to find the Walsh mark. I've had a good look, but there is no mark.

I have seen the same shape as mine in Walsh canary opalescent and primrose. It's a distinctly different metal to all the other green jade/opaline I own or have seen: far more translucent and "chiffonlike". Not all Walsh is marked.

Yes Christine my dishes are also translucent. The jugs are too and they have a speckled appearance inside when held up to the light which seems to be from tiny bubbles and colourant? in the glass.

Most if not all opaline is translucent. It's just that these are more translucent than most
