Its upper edge finishes in a dramatic \u003cstrong\u003escalloped rim\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving the silhouette plenty of movement while allowing the rich turquoise colour to glow particularly strongly around the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe moulded decoration is exceptionally detailed. Large \u003cstrong\u003efan motifs\u003c\/strong\u003e sweep upwards towards the rim, while the lower body incorporates repeated \u003cstrong\u003epinwheel and starburst designs\u003c\/strong\u003e, angular chevrons and finely ribbed geometric panels. Looking down into the vase reveals how the different motifs interlock to create an almost kaleidoscopic effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe underside of the pedestal is decorated with a further \u003cstrong\u003eradiating starburst\u003c\/strong\u003e, so even the base has been incorporated into the overall design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eClose examination shows \u003cstrong\u003ethree mould seams\u003c\/strong\u003e, confirming that the vase was produced using a multi-part mould rather than being individually wheel-cut. This is therefore correctly described as \u003cstrong\u003epressed\/moulded glass\u003c\/strong\u003e, despite the decoration closely imitating traditional cut-crystal patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eSmall air bubbles are also present within the glass. These are manufacturing characteristics rather than damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003ePinwheel, fan, hobstar and starburst motifs have a long history in pressed glass and were deliberately designed to reproduce the sparkling appearance of much more labour-intensive cut glass.
