Hi, not sure what sort of date you were thinking of so apologies if I’m making assumptions. According to Miller’s Glass Antiques Checklist, the fact that the handle is attached at the bottom and drawn up indicates it post dates 1870. The same book has acid polishing from the beginning of the 20thC.
The tread in this link discusses ‘clear’ glass with a yellow tint:
https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php?topic=23733.0and seems to suggest a possible date of 1920s to 1950s. I think I’ve read that older glass, such as from the Georgian period, can have a yellow tint but the other factors would exclude that possibility in your jug.
With regard to English or Irish style, I thought that was something that was relevant in the Georgian/Regency period when there were different styles and some English work transferred to Ireland for tax reasons. I understood that cut glass was made from lead crystal as it is easier to cut. Maybe it doesn’t ring because of the shape or thickness of the glass? Hesitate to say, but it’s not cracked is it? Hope this helps and happy to be corrected by the more knowledgeable.
