#139601

Intact, with a few tiny chips and nicks commensurate with age. Pontil scar is worn away. 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. Nice silvery and rainbow iridescence, especially on the lower part of the body.
