MediumColorless non-lead glass; blown, probably by the Robinet process, in a female mold of three vertical sections bearing the pattern, probably with a base plate that formed the ribbed underside of the base. After blowing, it was probably over-blown, then cracked off, stuck up on a pontil, and the rim tooled and flared out.
