Vintage Waterford Water Pitcher Pattern Unknown but similar to Hibernia

  
From our personal collection we are pleased to offer this very rare vintage Water Jug. This piece was a wedding gift to my Irish grandmother so at least 100 years old. It is unsigned and we don't know the pattern but it is similar to the now discontinued "Hibernia" pattern bought out by Waterford in the 1960s.

We believe it is Waterford (and have been told it is a rare piece) but would appreciate any information on the pattern. It has been suggested that rather than Waterford that it is from the Shannon factory, another maker of crystal ware in Ireland but we have no way to be sure. Please note the polished pontil on the bottom of the jug, a testament to its age. The height of the jug is 7 and it is 5 1/2 across widest point. The photos form part of the description so please examine them carefully.
