This glass jug in Jill's shop Decor Revived reminds me so much of the Dorthy Thorpe coffee pot.

Jill picked it up in Australia. As the glasses look so like Crown Crystal I wonder if it might have been mage by Crown Crystal in Australia.

I can't find a picture of the Thorpe pot on the forum.

Interesting.

I think further research is required.

Nothing came up on google for:

Dorothy Thorpe glass pitcher, or
Dorothy Thorpe glass jug.

Some similar but not same glasses. From what I see, apart from the similarity the coffee pot and glass jug, it doesn't seem to be her style.

I meant plenty of results but no matches for Jill's jug, either in shape or colour.
