Title: uranium ? jug with cut decoration... Art Deco
Post by: holmgarth on March 21, 2012, 09:13:05 PM

Hello.
Hope someone might be able to help identify this jug.
It has a faint yellowy/green colour, sort of uranium. It has a wide (2") ground and polished pontil. The jug is 6 3/4" high. The feature that most impresses me is the cutting around the body. The top of the handle is also cut flat. my guess is that it is English... poss. Stourbridge ?
Thanks.

It's not uranium glass IMHO.

Hi, thanks for that.... I will just call it `washed out yellow` then.... seems quite apt. Jeff

Thanks Andy. 30`s - 50`s..... yes, I think so too. Would be nice to get closer to a possible maker, I would like to know who was responsible for the cutting, it is a real class act. Cheers, Jeff
