    This small milk jug I think is vaseline glass (well it glows well under blacklight )
    It's moulded with raised daisies? in Amber colour ..
    The top rim & top of handle & the bottom glow but between is clear glass..
    The base is marked as pics ,a sort of long neck creature
    A flower type embossed centre
    & a registration mark triangle , who if I'm right says this was made on 24th May 1880. ....
    Made by -SOWERBY & CO. England.
    The moulded mark was used between 1876 & 1930
    The firm ran from 1872 - 1956..
    50p bargain .
    This little jug made it through 2 world wars and is still in excellent condition..
    Hope you like it :-)

      Wow, that is a Beautiful little jug, however it is not uranium even though it has a faint glow under a blacklight.

      I suggest you read this small article it might shed some light on your jugs faint glow under UV light.

      it is a pritty enamel jug, but it is flint glass thus the yellowish glow
      in a post here you can see the difference
