Well if my son has ordered the correct book, it should be The Gerda Koepff Collection by Eva Schmitt and Helmut Ricke.  Fingers crossed as not opened yet  ;D

Looks to be in amazing condition as well!  Nearly 200 years old.  They registered designs in April and July 1847 I think from a quick search.
Great present! Festive wishes to you :)  I have a new glass book - not yet opened :)

No Tim, being plain clear glass it wouldn't contain uranium but it does contain manganese. This first photo shows it under 395nm. UV which is used to identify uranium glass, the second is under 365nm. UV which identifies manganese in glass, really bright in this case. Nev.

The shape looks much better than a pint glass tankard.
Any uranium in the mix Nev ?

British & Irish Glass / John Lumb Pint Glass

Made by John Lumb, later United Glass Castleford, this carries the early Crown Mark for GRV or GRVI, used from 1910 to about 1930. The 301 is for West Yorkshire, the C indicates Castleford. It is rather crudely made with several bubbles and lines and has lots of wear outside, presumably from contact with other glasses.

I bought this today despite it having a massive internal fault/crack. It has no external damage so I'm not sure what could have caused it, it may be it's a manufacturing fault or perhaps it was some form of excess heat. Height is 10", weight over 4.5lbs.

  Possibly the article in the "journal of Glass Studies"  by Phelps Warren titled "Apsley Pellatts Table Glass 1840-1864" vol.26 1984, would be the one your referencing. He only mentions in passing  the Medician,Turkish and Gracian shapes as a counter to the broad flute in the 1840-1842 catalogue. No mention of specific colors, more a treatise on techniques.

  As to the book you mentioned I may buy it in the future. Seems quite specific information on each piece. This specificity hard to come by in a general book on the subject.

 

Thank you for the information on the Pellatt article.  Disappointing that there isn't any discussion re colours.

Yes I think the Gerda Koepff collection book appears to have a lot of detailed research from excellent sources and excellent authors.
