Description
This port glass must have been made when the glass blower was keen to knock off early! The round bucket bowl has been set on a long slender stem when the glass had obviously not cooled enough so that it leans askew above the mould-blown foot which has cooled unevenly with lots of flaws and a bubble on the edge. Far from discounting the glass, the maker sold it anyway (well it does hold port well and he was probably calculating that the drinker wouldn't be in a fit state to notice!).
