DescriptionThis bowl was likely formed in a mold rather than blown, as it lacks a pontil mark. The glass is transparent and decolored, with a light greenish gray tinge (5 GY 8/1). The fabric cannot be determined due to weathering. It features flaring convex sides that taper to a flat base with a broad, rounded transition and an attached, outsplayed base ring. The rim is polished with a semicircular profile. A single wheel-cut groove runs around the interior just below the rim.
