An Early Glass Potcher/Gourd.......with INTENSE scratch pattern wear......even the lips (chipped) have been worn over by repeated washrags........much photography is devoted to exploiting its age......manufactured for the lower income classin 2 piece mold with blown handle.....as inexpensive it makes no attempt to hide its mold marks.....i've NEVER seen serviceware used so heavily....its sad....lack of provenance!!.....give it a tounge for endless domestic stories!!......THANKS.
