DescriptionPressed, probably upside down, over a plain male mold that formed the interior by a female plunger bearing the pattern of Gothic arches, thistles, and printies, with a cap ring that formed the scalloped edge and underside of the rim with bull's-eyes. The twenty bull's-eyes on the base serve as the foot ring.
