<p>[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 3059781, member: 70"]The 'waffled bottom' is a result of the punty used to pick it up subsequent to the the pressing, to tool it into shape. The waffle will pick up the nearly molten glass and release it without leaving a 'scar,' it just leaves its imprint. Buckeye Glass, in Martin's Ferry, Ohio, used it at the end of the 19th Century. Not to say your napkin holder was made by them or that it isn't Chinese. The waffle punty is a normal glass workers' tool. </p><p><br /></p><p><i>Edit</i>, Correct typo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
