DescriptionThick, heavy opalescent glass. Pressed, probably upright, in a female mold of three vertical sections bearing the pattern for the side of the bowl and the underside of the rim and a base plate that formed the edge of the foot and bore the pattern for the underside of the base—a circle of triangular serrations surrounding the "endless knot" motif—by a male plunger, plain except for the undulating pattern on the upper side of the rim.
