DescriptionGroup of three blown colorless lead glass wine glasses, each with a plain rim, tapered sides, a stem with a ring, or knop, in the middle, and a circular foot with a flat bottom and a polished pontil mark in the center. A row of cut flutes circles the lower half of the hollow portion of each wine glass. A ring of light scratches circles the edge of the bottom of each wine glass. The remnants of a red and white sticker are adhered to the bottom of wine glass .17. The number "478" is hand-written in black ink on the sticker.
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.
