Dear All,

This is a recent purchase, and I was drawn to it by the deep blue color and the overall interesting character. I'm hoping to learn more about the processes that may have been employed to make it by the character of the various elements
The top of the bottle has a raised mouth and recessed lip with a pair of front view seams that disappear at the neck, on the same plane as with the top ridge of the side view seams. Those seams are centered on the horizontal of the neck and begin in the shape of an elongated "Y" , about 1/3rd of the way down the neck. The side seams go down to the shoulders and disappear after that. Whereas, the seams started in the middle on the horizontal of the neck, they veer to one side so that they don't split the bottle on the sides evenly when they end around the shoulders.
clearly visible striations are present with an uneven feel in the thickness between the top and lower sections. The area at the shoulders and above is thinner than the body below.
Embossed floral patterns on all four sides of the base
The rectangular foot rim has some glass drippings around the edges, and the foot inside the rim has smoothed over bumps that can felt by the felt by the fingertips.
Tiny scattered round bubbles throughout

H: 7"

Thank you for looking

Kind regards

Kevin
