Post by: lyndhurst44 on March 18, 2007, 12:41:25 PM

Hi,
A friend brought this unusual slag glass glug jug along to a boot sale this morning to ask my advice on maker. I said i knew people far more knowledgeable than myself who would have a much better idea. So here I am again. Davidson's?

Chiarenza and Slater speculate in "the Milk Glass Book" that the purple marbeled pitchers were made by Davidson from Heppel moulds.  The original pitcher was made in white milk glass by W. H. Heppell, Newcastle Flint Glass Works, Newcastle-on-Tyne with a registry mark of November 24, 1882.

The one on that site has a different lip.

How big is yours David.  ;D

Massive. But the fish jug was about 6" (15cm) tall - I passed it onto Sue Marshall (chopin-liszt) so she can tell you for sure.

Thanks y'all,
I followed up on the slag glass theme and found this which is almost exactly the same on this website but my jug must be of a fsh as it hasn't got an eye.  ::) ;D

Unfortunately I can't get a link but I just entered slag glass fish jug into google and it took me straight to this jug.
