Kev, that would not surprise me at all. The Brockwitz mould shop was a masterful and highly skilled operation. So much so that a high profile party of glass craftsmen from the UK visited them during a trip to Europe - the entire visit being reported in the Pottery Gazette in 1928.
Your keen observation and incisive thoughtfulness are much appreciated.

How common or un-common is a 4 part mold ?
Glen:
Well, I just picked about ten pieces of European Carnival up at random, and over half of them came from four part moulds.
I haven't gone through the rest of the collection (USA, European etc., etc., etc). It could take some time.

paradisetrader:
Oh please Glen don't worry further. Your sample is sufficient to tell me that it's not as peculiar as I had imagined. It's just that the vast majority of my pressed glass vases are 3 part. This has a bearing on another thread which I shall now return to. Thank you for your help. Peter
Glen:
Peter, I would guess that a lot of the USA Classic Carnival will be three part moulds. But there are certainly plenty of my European items that are from four parts (one of them is a teeny tiny bowl - so quite an amazing mould for that exquisite little piece).
