I purchased this beautiful jug today. It is very heavy and has no makers mark. fair amount of air bubbles in the glass and it is a very deep brown. Any thoughts
This is likely later 20th century Mexican made tourist/decorative glassware. I have seen the form a few times. The thickness of the glass, the exaggerated bubbles and crudely formed nature indicate its origin.
Handblown - yes. Collectible - yes. Valuable - just a little.
Chris, Thank you. I would be interested in your value estimate, as "just a little", can be viewed either high or low. My trade friend would price it at £75 -£95 in her shop, which I was surprised at considering how little I spent on it.

On ebay or at a bottle show would be an entirely different range
