"Blown glass cup molded with decoration of small points and rosette of petals. The base is underlined by a cord of pinched glass. Twisted stem decorated with a trick of glass net. Discoid foot." Archaeology and Uses of Glass, Cat.114. "With its chalice-shaped bowl decorated by molding a network of small dots and petals, example #114 is related to a well-known series of glasses produced in the Argonian workshops of Pairupt (commune of Lachalade, 55) and Bercettes. The rather limited range of decorations is obtained by blowing the material in an open mold.
