Topic: Amethyst cased and cut glass jug

[flying free]

Just been browsing a museum collection and there's a Schreiber Glass Factory jug in there with a top down handle dating to 1896 (enamelled, blown glass, not cased and not the same as yours at all but nonetheless a thick top down handle)

Yes ,there seems to be no doubt top down handles appear after their main period of use ,looking at the later ones it seems to be an aesthetic decision on suiting a certain jug shape ?
