Title: Can anyone ID this jug please?
Post by: mbdouglas on April 19, 2010, 03:04:44 PM

Can anyone ID this jug please. It is 26cm tall. The colours are orange with dark blue, and gold inclusions. It is cased glass with an inner layer of blue, a middle layer of white, and the couter layer is orange. It has a rough pontil mark. I would appreciate an idea of its value too.

The gold inclusions make me think of Italy,a guess that will probably be wrong,more pic's of the base and a close-up on the body will help,Keith.

I think this is produced by Lafiore on Mallorca. The pontil treatment - roughed over coarsely - is typical for them, as is the use of blue trailing.  In the factory shop in S'Esgleieta it would probably set you back around 80 Euros.

Thanks Sue. I must admit I was rather hoping that it might be Schneider but I doubt it as it is not signed. Also having looked at the website for the Mallorcan glass Lafiore which Ivo suggested, it looks as if it could be made by them.
