DescriptionPressed upright in a female mold of three vertical sections bearing the pattern, with a base plate that formed the lower edge and underside of the base, with a cap ring that formed the lip, by a plain male plunger. The moldmarks extend through the center of the simulated log handle and the two lines of five florets between the larger center oval panel under the spout, depicting a fisherman in a rowboat with house and trees beyond, and each of the smaller side panels.
