Title: Pressed glass cream jug (4 part mould) with thick applied handle ...approx date?
Post by: Baked_Beans on August 06, 2015, 06:56:09 PM

This cream jug is quite thick & heavy , no marks, four part mould with applied thick handle with a curly bit to the base of the handle (see pics.). Has a polished base with lots of age.  Any idea, from the general shape/ construction ,of the age / country of origin / maker ? Thanks for having a look, Cheers, Mike.

 P.S. to highest point of spout it is 4.5 inches.

Late 1800s is my guess. Are sure it's a four-part mould; that would be very unusual and more expensive to make. Two or three parts is more usual

Thanks very much Christine, Definitely four parts/mould lines can be seen . No seeds, quite bright, clear glass and a number of bubbles. 

I've marked mould lines with huge black arrows  ;)......here......
