Title
Glass linen smoother of unknown date.
Description
English: Glass linen smoother of unknown date. Diameter 64mm and 39mm thick. Weight 242.12g.

The black coloured smoother is circular in plan and when viewed from the side it is dome-shaped. On the underside is a circular recess in the form of a “push-up” similar to those on blown glass bottles that pre-date circa 1845. The recess is about 32mm in diameter. Within the recess is a scar that was formed when the pontil was detached from the smoother following the shaping on a marver. Around the rim of the recess is a flattened area which was created when the smoother was resting and in a semi-molten state following its production. The surface is pitted overall. Most of the pitting appears to be old. However, there is some modern pitting.
