The Davidson one is about right, not orange, but tending towards the bluer end.
I don't have a piece any more, but have had 2. Wfs had a good ruby red too. Mother had a jug with a clear handle.

Earth without art is just eh.

yes, that was probably the tall water jug, which may in fact have only been offered in ruby, and which I did once have an example of.      The W/Fs. jug was thinner than the piece here and probably most of the other pressed pieces  -  I suspect the W/Fs one may have been blown.          Am fairly sure the piece here has nothing to do with Davidson, but thought it worthwhile mentioning them as 'makers of ruby' in case that info was of use to someone sometime.

Mother's jug was blown. I think it had a clear celery handle. And yes, I was mentioning it only for it being another source of this very distinct red.

I did  wonder about Gullaskruf because I know they did similar stepped designs in the 60s and the colour fitted too, but I haven't had any luck there....well, I thought I'd chuck in another name!

Hi - appreciate your effort and time  -  I've passed this one back to the charity shop now, but if we do get the correct attribution that will always be useful for the future.    thanks.  :)
