These jugs were made at the Holyrood glass works in Edinburgh Scotland in the late 19th century and can been seen in the book ''The Magic and Misery of Glassmaking: Researching the History of the Scottish Glass Industry
By Jill Turnbull'' which was published by Society of Antiquaries of Scotland. See link below...
The Magic and Misery of Glassmaking By Jill Turnbull
The jugs can be further identified as Holyrood examples by the fact that they have 4 cuts at the top of the stoppers rather than the normal six or flat tops seen elsewhere.
Superb examples.
