Ah hah!
I think i may have found a clue, Im sure everyone has Millers Glass Jeanette Hayhurst 2001,
page 62, A Bohemian glass decanter, blue dot decoration.
I think ive seen other similar examples in the odd auction so it seemed vaguley familiar.
My jug also has 9 rings and with the iridescence, im now crossing Europe, and thinking Deco, Bohemian,
Czech, Austrian ? 1920s 30s.
 
Any one think im getting warmer?
Andy

Dunbar is a possibility, as are West Virginia Glass Specialty and Louie Glass Co., both of Weston, West Virginia, USA.
