    I believe this cruet to be made by Morgantown (Economy Glass) during the 1920s. At the time they called this color combo Genova (topaz and blue). But I can't find an example of this style of cruet anywhere. I'm trying to determine if the stopper is original. The color looks the same, but you know how it is . . . Thee is a bit of roughness at the opening which looks like tool marks to me because they are so regular. I was thinking if @Cherryhill was around, he might know, or perhaps one of you other smart people. The cruet measures 6" high, not including stopper. TIA!

    I can’t offer help however I’ve never seen one like this. It’s beautiful. Did these come in sets? I bet it’s spectacular with other similar pieces.

    They made all sorts of shapes in this color combo. Pitchers, vases, Cream/sugar sets were illustrated in my reference book. But overall, they are pretty scarce and I'm not finding any examples on line. Worthpoint had 2 - a creamer and a cr/sug set. Also found a more traditional looking cruet, but the stopper was missing.

    Sorry, Morgantown is out of my time period. The chips around the top (note the crazing on the far side in the bottom two images) may have come from working the glass too cold. IMHO.

    Thank you! I thought that also about the top, but only because you told me that about a pitcher I posted years ago that looked the same way due to shear marks. I still have the pitcher.

    Looks 19thc and French to me. Could be English too.

    I just did a quick search using the terms "antique french glass amber turquoise" ...try that and go to images, you will find your French 19thc cruet there.

    Awesome, blooey! The one that's ID"d as LeGras not only has the shape but the handle is applied in the same manner. Now I'm wondering if this is a cruet or part of a small liquer set. Thanks, now off to do more research.
