DescriptionBlown aquamarine glass tumbler with a plain rim, slightly tapered sides, and a flat bottom with a shallow kick and a ring-shaped pontil mark. There are many bubbles and seeds, or pieces of unvitrified matter, imbedded in the glass. A ring of light scratches circles the bottom edge of the tumbler.
Kick: An indentation in the bottom of a drinking glass, bottle, or other glass object.
Pontil mark: A rough place on a blown glass object where the solid metal rod, or pontil, is cracked off the object after final shaping and decoration. Pontil marks can be polished to achieve a smooth surface.
