DescriptionFont blown and finished by tooling. Joined by a bladed knop and two wafers to the base. Base pressed upside down in what appears to be a one-piece female mold bearing the pattern--there are no moldmarks anywhere on the base--by a plain male plunger, with a cap ring that formed the underside of the perimeter of the base. Pontil mark on the interior edge of the second step from the bottom. Font cut with alternating patterns of vesica, strawberry-diamond, blaze, and fan motifs.
