As staining can be done at any time against the glass, variants are possible. Our standard colors reflect only those known to have been applyed by the manufacturer.

Very poor quality moulds and assembly. Stem base is rough around the foot, the lower sawtooth band and thumbprints are almost without any definition, and there is no upper sawtooth band. The main pattern band has a lower sawtooth band that is identifiable, but not crisp. The thumbprints have a decent depth but are otherwise softly defined. The top sawtooth band is also almost without definition. The connection of the stem to the well base is somewhat sloppy in that a few of the ones we have are not level/leaning.
