<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 80124, member: 177"]When blown glass was stuck up on a rod to do additiional work such as adding a handle the "scar" was created when the rod and item were separated. Cheap production glass had the protrusion which was often left alone if the item set flat. Higher quality wold have additional work done on the scar. Sometime they look more like a "cut-shut" pigtail.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
