Comments
When I first saw this glass I was pretty sure the foot had been reduced...it didn't quite sit right with the eye. However, on close inspection, the foot is the original size and has never been reduced.
...if the foot had been reduced these tool marks would have disappeared.
A rare form...finding another example of this glass will be rather difficult.
