<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9602271, member: 76316"]2 1/2" high. ~2 1/8" rim diameter, which tapers ever so slightly to the top of the ~3/4" high patterned band; weight is ~96 grams. It's blown into a 4-part mold; the second pic shows 2 of those mold seams immediately above that patterned band.</p><p>What I think is a remnant pontil scar shows plainly in pic 4; a thumbnail catches on most of that circular shallow ring. UV turns this a dark slightly reddish brown, tho' not opaque. Capacity is 3 oz, brim-full.</p><p><br /></p><p>If not a toothpick, was it for 'medicinal' spirits, or? Is the pressed pattern common, or proprietary? Can anyone say when it was made, an' by whom? I collect shot glasses but haven't seen one of that capacity or form.
