Hi everyone.
Hope your all well.
I need your help again please ::)
Can anyone give me any info on this light green glass Jug please.
It has lots of tiny bubbles within the glass
Stands just over 7-1/2 inches high and 4-1/2 inches wide.
Thanks
Rach

Is it uranium glass?
It looks a bit like a colour known as "jadeite", which would be uranium and might help track down a maker - the colour is very distinctive - but you need somebody who knows more about this area than I do. :)
-
does it have a polished pontil mark on the base?

Hi Guys.
Thanks for your replys.
I have a UV light which I have put on this jug but no glow.
Also its has no polished pontil on the base.
Thanks Rach
-
could you do a much clearer photo of the base please?
Is it just completely flat and then curved up the sides for example, or does it have mold marks i.e. dimples etc in it?
thanks

Hi M.
Please see attach pictures and hope they help.
Let me know if they are not any good and I will do some more.
Thanks
Rach

That looks like a mould-blown base, thanks for the extra pics! :)
Now I know there's no uranium, I am completely stumped. ???
It might be difficult to track down a maker. Jugs are quite notoriously difficult to identify.

Hi Sue.
Thanks for coming back too me.
I did have a plate and some glasses I put on here maybe a year ago and the colour and bubbles are very close.
I think the name was (Schneider).
Could this be the same??
Thanks
Rach
-
I don't know about Schneider and couldn't seem to find anything similar although I can see why you thought maybe.
I know what I thought it was, but I'm thrown by the mold blown base and firepolished rim (it does have a firepolished rim doesn't it? or is it cut bevelled and polished ? - I thought it looked firepolished)
Personally I think it looks like it might have had a lid as well. Is there a small lip on the inside at the bottom of the rim where a lid might have sat?

It was an english company I was thinking of. I'll track down an image.
The company I was thinking of was Stevens and Williams. I thought it looked the same as the S&W posy vase on this page of Lustrousstone's Uranium Gallery in her album. There are a couple of images in this link.

Rach can you add some clear pictures of the glass showing the bubbles etc.
Sue, me too - I still think it is but the mold blown base is odd to me.

No pontil mark on hand-blown jugs is quite common.
Sue it's no good showing the page on my website because it depends how you or the default have sorted. You need to copy the link in the info under the picture when you click on the thumbnail.
-
ok, that's strange I would have thought though for S&W (the no pontil mark)
But in that case, I also I thought it was S&W as well.
Single colour alabaster and possibly missing a lid?
It looks similar to my condiment pots :)

Doh.
There was more than one image, and the page came up nicely with other similar items.
I didn't do a "computery" search, I went through your Uranium Album page by page.

(I get in a muddle copying links from under - it's so much easier to copy the link in the wwww-y box at the top)
-
Copying from the browser bar doesn't often work for data base based websites because that varies depending on how you got there. What I see as a page may not be what you see. My website is very searchable honest.
Your second like should be http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1798
The number on the end is the unique number for each item and that never changes.
-
;)
I couldn't remember the name to search for. I just know what the image looks like, but I can't stick that in a search engine.
I believe you that it is very searchable - I'm just not good at searches.
I'm just not compatible with computery stuff. I don't understand it, I don't "get" it.
It makes absolutely no sense that pages from a link turn up differently for different folk.
That's just another stupid computery dirty trick. >:(
-
You could have used posy or mushroom or jade... Think of an online database like a box of index cards not a computery thing. You and I have two identical sets but you have filed yours one way and I have filed mine another. The only way to describe a particular card to someone else is to use its unique identifier.
In this case http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1797 where the green bit is the name of the box file and the red number is the particular card.
-
It's unique identifiers which have to be words or numbers that mess me up. I can't cope with them or the "single card" which could be anywhere, notion.
I "file" things in piles, I know what features make something belong to one pile or another and they tend to be visual, not wordy. So when I want to find something, I know which heap of stuff I need to go through.
I can't come up with a new unique identifier for every single thing, far too many things end up with the same descriptor.
That's why I can't find anything, even on my own pc, and have to trawl trhough thousands of images just to find the one I need.
I'd got myself stuck on "jadeite" too, rather than Jade, and had managed to forget mushrooms and posies as well as S&W.
But I did find it! ;D And I rather enjoyed going through all your lovely images. I had a good drool over your glorious Kralik "bothery" basket on the way. :-*
