Primary Description:
Vessel with Lug Handles and Pedestal Foot. Thick translucent yellow-green glass, extremely bubbly with small spatters of weathering displaced over exterior surface, interior retains even weathering with incrustation and some dendritic patterns; cast, cut and polished. Large ovoid form on elaborately profiled stem and foot; thick cylindrical collar rim sits on top of squat ovoid form which tapers down into a wide angular band profiled above and below by two horizontal relief-cut bands, the stem continues down in an almost-cylindrical shape before flaring out into a solid flat foot, below the large angular profiled band is a second smaller cylindrical band with irregular grooves; in cross section the edge is highlighted with a groove; massive lug handles, triangular in profile are cut from the original blank and extend down the side of the vessel, the handle becomes wider as it moves away from the rim and is beveled on the edges of the upper surface, the side of the handle has been cut in to form a deep vertical rectangular notch, from here the greatest thickness of the handle has been drilled at an angle toward the top and met by a smaller drill down from the upper surface of the handle.
