DescriptionFlattened globular font and standard blown and finished by tooling, then joined by double-bladed wafers. Joined by a bladed knop to an elaborate base. Stem and base pressed upside down in a female mold, apparently of one piece, that formed the stem, the intricate pattern between it and the square base, and the upper surface and sides of the base, by a male plunger that formed the interior of the base and stem and the several patterns of ribbing within them, with a cap ring that formed the underside of the edges of the base, the ribbed pendentive forms extending downward from it, and the ribbed feet at each corner. Cut with a pattern of printies with blaze above alternating with squares of strawberry diamonds on end, each surmounted by a fan. Brass collar machined and threaded.
