For an almost identical cream jug with a gadrooned base see C.Sheppard and J.Smith, Glass from the Restoration to the Regency, p.25, fig.19. A larger, earlier crizzled example, attributed to one of George Ravenscroft's glasshouses, is illustrated, op.cit., pp.12-13, fig.5. See also the crizzeled Ravenscroft rib-moulded jug in the Cecil Higgins Museum, Bedford, of similar form, illustrated R.Charleston, English Glass, pl.24c, circa 1677.
