DescriptionBowl blown in a female mold of two vertical sections, each bearing three panels of diamond-diaper pattern alternating with three plain panels. Expanded and finished by tooling. Rim goffered on a crimp. Joined by a wafer to hexagonal standard on a circular foot. Standard and base pressed, probably upright, over a male mold with plain upper part and shoulder bearing a pattern of rings by a female plunger of two vertical sections that formed the hexagonal stem, in conjunction with a one-piece female plunger that formed the upper side of the foot, with a cap ring that formed the slightly rounded outer underside of the base. The moldmarks on the hexagonal stem extend vertically from the top of the foot along the right edge of the lower polygon, then left across its top, vertically to the lower edge of the arched upper panel, right following the curve of the arch (0.5 cm [3/16 in.]), then vertically to the top of the stem. No pontil mark.
