The mold seams extend from the lower edge of the foot over the foot; rise vertically through the center of the stem, through the center of the lowest honeycomb, and between the sides of the next row; and then follow the left side of the honeycomb in the row above, then to the right and vertically to the bottom of the top arch. No pontil mark.
