DescriptionBowl: pressed, probably upside down, over a plain male mold by a female plunger bearing the pattern, with a cap ring that formed the edge of the scalloped rim, its underside, and the 3.0-cm (1 1/8-in.) vertical band below it. Rope foot ring. Cover: pressed, probably upside down in a female mold of two vertical sections, opening along the longitudinal center of the handle and flat raised portion to which it is attached, then opening on an angle from that point to its rim, 3.0 cm (1 1/8 in.) to the right of the center moldmark for the handle, by a male plunger bearing the pattern with a plain cap ring that may have formed the bottom edge. Alternatively, the plunger may have formed the interior and the edge. There is a small irregular stone-ground area (about 1.0 x 1.2 cm [3/8 x 1/2 in.]) where one moldmark was smoothed.
