DescriptionHemispherical ribbed bowl made of mold-fused, tooled, and abraded glass in a natural bluish-green tint. The bowl has an upright rim with a rounded edge and fairly straight sides that taper obliquely downward to a flat, slightly uneven bottom. On the exterior, forty-four shallow, close-set, rounded ribs are arranged slightly obliquely on the body and end just below the junction of the side and bottom.
