Pressed glass jug for id please.

Just under 5 inches tall, three part mould, there is a lozenge mark inside but almost unreadable, I was thinking, Sowerby, Greener, Davidson ?  ??? ;D

It's probably my imagination but is that a Greener lion mark inside at the centre in the bottom? I would guess Greener anyway.

It’s Greener, the celery vase of this pattern has a spurious lozenge that doesn’t make sense as the guy making the lozenge must have been dyslexic, if you search greener spurious lozenge on here or the gallery you should find more. It’s from around 1871. Ish

One time I tried to get an imprint of a dodgy looking lozenge at the bottom of something by pressing a bit of blu-tack to it.
Plasticine might have been better, but I don't have any.

That’s exactly what I did with the celery, still couldn’t understand the lozenge until I looked on here. There’s quite a few Greener items with dodgy lozenges.
