<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 4514077, member: 76316&quot;]Another family treasure from Mom&#039;s sister, my dear aunt Marie. 3¼&quot; diameter, top &amp; bottom; no <i>external</i> taper, ~5&quot; tall, rim thickness ~.070&quot; (red), ~.110&quot; (white), with a ground upper edge an&#039; a very finely ground inner chamfer. As the wall moves toward the bottom, it thickens, roughly as the whites in the swirl do. All the whites are externally over the cranberry, and the <i>interio</i>r thickness of that combination is a variable...the exterior is very smooth. There are 3 evenly spaced faint vertical seams at the mold edges; they don&#039;t extend into the bottom, which is slightly rimmed, then smoothly concave. There are 21 white swirls.</p><p><br /></p><p>The amount of skill and process control evident in the piece is remarkable, to me. eBay has hundreds of cranberry &amp; white swirl vessels...none are even remotely as simple and straightforward as this, most of them having bulbous bodies with wavy or otherwise tooled mouths. Fenton is often mentioned as a maker in their descriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whatever y&#039;all see in this, shout it out please! Thanks...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]396815[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396816[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396818[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396819[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]396820[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
