Topic: Crackle glass jug with paint streaks - any info please?

[createdbear]

Unusual crackle jug with paint streaks throughout. 9 inches tall. Do any members now the country of origin or indeed the maker please? As always, than you for any help.

  It's not paint streaks - it is tiny strands of enamel. This effect of coloured small canes/strands is known as Peloton. I can't help any further than that, but it might help a search.

Thank you Sue, you are a minefield of knowledge. I have never heard of the term Peloton (apart from to do with bikes and cycling!). A quick Google boughtup an almost identical jug...deemed to be Bohemian and dating bac to the 19th century. Mystery solved. Thanks again.

Probably Bohemian and possibly Harrach

  Your knowledge is much better than mine Christine, but I do agree. Very high quality, old Bohemian.
