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 :-)
