DescriptionThis footed bowl is made of light olive brown glass with a thick arched handle attached at the rim. A spiral streak of pale brown runs up the side, and faint ribbing radiates from the base. The rim is folded out and down, and the bowl's walls taper to a wide base with a concave underside. The handle was added while the glass was hot.
