DescriptionEntire piece pressed upright in a female mold of three vertical sections bearing the so-called Hamilton-with-leaf pattern, with a slightly domed, rayed base plate that formed the underside of the foot and its lower edge, with a cap ring that formed the rim and the plain area just below it, by a plain male plunger. The moldmarks extend from the upper edge of the foot to the cap ring. No pontil mark.
