DescriptionAlabaster glass, blue font and white standard and base. Font pressed upright in a female mold probably of three vertical sections, in conjunction with a one-piece cylindrical mold from which the domed top was formed by reheating and tooling by the Magoun patent method, by a plain male plunger. Joined by a wafer of blue glass to a columnar standard and a stepped base. Standard and base pressed in the same manner as that used for 1959.155 but in a different mold of the same pattern with a longer shaft and eighteen beads between the corner beads in the band between the plinths.
