This is a late Georgian, hand-blown, Bristol blue wrythen-moulded glass cream jug dating from the turn of the 18th/19th centuries, c1800.
The jug is in excellent condition for its age. This means of course that it shows age related wear and tear to the rim of the base consistent with some 200 years of use. It has a rough pontil mark on the underside of the base.
The jug has a baluster-shaped bowl measuring 6 cm (2.4 inches) in diameter at the turned inward pouring rim. The bowl is plain save for the light wrythen-moulding and ends in a slightly kicked in base The jug is 7.5 cm (3 inches) across at its widest point and is 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in height. The handle was first applied to the top of the bowl and then finished off at the bottom of the bowl with a curlicue. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any other obvious evidence of restoration. There is a large white inclusion in the metal of the jug, just to the left of the lower handle terminal, that dates from manufacture.
A pretty, period jug weighing in at 110 g. (~ 4 oz.).
