This cute little jug was a neat find in a local op shop.
It is made from a single layer of light green glass which contains uranium & glows brightly under UV light.
Measuring 11 cm tall at the highest point, 10 cm across the widest point, & 4.5 cm across the base, it features nicely detailed raised enamel decoration of lily of the valley flowers. There is also some slightly worn gilding, plus an interesting zig - zag detail around the lower part of the jug which nicely emphasises the optic panels. There is a clear applied handle.
In excellent condition for its age. Most likely Bohemian origin.
That must have glowed at you from the op shop entrance!
Many thanks, Karen!
