Stem: Short plain stub.

Foot: Flat spread.Thick foot 1.5cm. 9.5cm in diameter.

Pontil: Snapped."
=== Properties ===
"Glass: Clear lead.

Height: 11.6 cm.

Weight: 713 grams.

Condition: Very good given its age. A number of flea bites to the bowl rim. Numerous scratches to the bowl and a minor tooling mark near the rim and a manufacturing mark where the foot has been joined to the stem. A long thin air trap unburst 1.5cm long in the foot. Some very small air bubbles. Much of this to be expected with a piece of this age. It has been well used and by virtue of its robustness it has survived. A good piece."
