Condition
Minor abrasions, light micro-bubbling within glass matrix, and some earthen deposits, otherwise intact and very good. Pontil mark on underside of base. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time. Light silvery iridescence in scattered areas.
