Description

This vessel is a 'marriage' between the sprinkler body and neck and the foot which appears to be from a goblet. The foot is of brownish-glass, circular, slightly domed and folded. The stem is formed by three blown knops attached to the body by a screw. The body is mould-blown with gadrooning on the lower part, a row of projecting tears round the middle and lighter gadrooning on the shoulder, diminishing in intensity and beginning to swirl into the slender neck which bends back and has a pointed cup-mouth.
