Dupli Color Milk Glass Pot

[SAbottles]

While cleaning some milk glass pots, I found this little square pot, with its lid & pretty dirty. Once cleaned up it looked like this:

It was obvious that there was something embossed on one panel:

At first we thought it was a fisherman with a rod, but finally tilting it around in the sun we managed to capture this:

Checking around, I found a post on AB.Net showing a little glass pot with a brush attached to the lid. Googling it, I found references to this being an ink pot ? Looking at the company, which still exists, it seems more likely it was a paint of some sort.
So two questions:
1. Ink or paint ?

2. Is it correct to call this milk glass?

Happy Scrabble Day, Dale,

I'm voting for paint, and I'd be calling it milk glass. I believe the goofy looking hat guy is wielding a paint brush. I'm not finding much history on the company. Have you considered contacting Dupli-Color?

Did you see this?

"Here is an old Art Deco DUPLI-COLOR touch up spray gun.
There is a little dude holding a paint brush on the glass jar." From.

You beat me to it. It's still around as auto paint, model paint etc.. I use the stuff all the time here. If you don't carry the brand there than I can't guess help.
I don't ever recall a milk glass example so I'd have to guess an early one.
Is it ground top Dale?

I'd guess round late 1940's, from the dump it came out of. No the lip is pretty smooth, Cows. Still had its plastic (?) lid on.
