DescriptionBowl: pressed upright in a female mold of three vertical sections, with a base plate that formed the underside of the foot and the depression in it, with a cap ring that probably formed the rounded top of the rim, by a plain male plunger. Cover and short cylinder above: pressed upside down, in a plain female mold, in conjunction with a female mold of two vertical sections that formed the hexagonal section of the finial, with a base plate that formed its low rounded top, by a male plunger bearing the pattern, which thus appears on the interior of the cover, in contrast to the bowl, which bears its pattern on the exterior.
