I know about the clear and SCA Queen Jars but I was wondering why this one has an aqua tint. Does anyone know why it's aqua? Is it a earlier variation?

Thanks

I suspect that this pale green tint is found when they did not use manganese in the glass...maybe WWI era? I've seen them fairly often but they never seem to have more than just the slightest tint of aqua.
