    The mark on the bottom is a Peacock's head and shoulders. Its from Sowerby, Gateshead on Tyne. Late 19th century, they did arguably the best mold work of any pressed glass house.

    the pattern is found in Sowerby 1880 pattern book as vitro-porcelain #1188; tho' I thought Sowerby quality was much better... Sowerby called this color turquoise

    So, are these pressed or mold blown?

    I like to ask the question. "If this is pressed, how'd they get the plunger out. In this case, I don't think they could [get the plunger out]. Some pressed pieces can be tooled shut, or closed, but this square top doesn't lend itself to that. I'd suggest the process involved blowing with compressed air to get that kind of detail.
