Topic: Water jug - Teachers Whisky promotional - who and how did they do that?

They look just like finger drawings in coloured frit. Which is exactly what they are.

It looks to me as though the lettering has been drawn by hand, rather than using a stencil or mould. For example, if you compare the ‘H’ in whiskey on the two jugs, they are different, the one on the Highland Special example has a sloping horizontal. Also the lettering looks to be different heights and sizes, even from one letter to the next in places. I don’t think that would be accounted for by distortions when making it if printed or using a mould or stencil etc, it looks freehand to me.

That would have to be done with the glass cold, so it would be blown then cooled then painted and then heated again before the red could be added. A lot of complication along with the risk of reheating, I can't see that, it does not account for the depth of the letters either.
