The jug measures 9.5 cm (3.8 inches) across the trefoil shaped pouring rim. The jug has been acid-etched to give a frosted appearance of water lilies. Charles R. Hajdamach writes on how this was done in his wonderful book - "British Glass 1800-1914". The body sits on a small, conical foot which has a polished out pontil mark to the under side. The handle was first applied to the top of the jug and then finished off at the shoulder. The jug is 20 cm (8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
The goblets measure 9.3 cm (3.7 inches) in diameter at the rims.
The bowls sit on plain stems that end in conical feet etched in the same pattern as the bowls. They have polished out pontil marks to the undersides of the feet. The goblets are 14.5 cm (5.8 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration.
Together they weigh in at 1,550 g. (~ 3 lb. 9 oz.).
