D.G. Co. Qt

deenodean · Nov 4, 2014

This is a green color qt embossed D.G. Co. made at the Diamond Glass Co. factory in Montreal between 1890 - 1902. It is RB11 # 776-1. The D is ribbed but not the G or Co. 1 embossed on the bottom. I don't see the green shade listed in the RB or my Canadian jar book. Unless someone see's it as AQUA I am seeing it as green. I'll let the panel decide. The seams are con-caved, the lip is ground. I am looking for a glass insert to fit it , it is about 3" 3/4 in diameter , the book says that an insert from the BEST jar will also fit. If anyone out there has one for sale PM me and lets make a deal. [attachment=IMG_0217.JPG] [attachment=IMG_0218.JPG] [attachment=IMG_0220.JPG]

Yes it does have in my opinion from the pic a light green color to it. I will P.M. you.

Dan, my opinion has always been that because AQUA is a combination or Blue and Green it can lean towards either one. In other words, Blue Aqua or Green Aqua. In your case your jar, which is wonderfully attractive, appears to be Light Greenish Aqua. With Price Guides and such, aqua should suffice unless the color makes a substantial value difference.That's my opinion and worth what you paid for it. [

That's a quart, I'd have thought pint at best.

I also missed the QUART in the title. My eyes tell me it cannot be. Please verify Dan.

I think it's a squatty quart. Looks right to me since it's pretty wide.

Using pi for calculations and guessing the height to the shoulder I get about a US pint. My math is not as good as it used to be though.

The D G Co. jars only come in quart and half gallon, and that is definitely the quart. I also agree that it may be on the greenish side of aqua, but not green enough to call it green, or affect pricing. Here's a photo of my half gallon which I would also call greenish aqua. By the way, I was glad you took the black outlining off, in my opinion it doesn't add anything to the appeal. -Tammy
