How are the base and the rim finished? How big is it?

Hi Christine,
it's 27 cm in diameter. The base is even, the rim is sort of rounded like a thin ring. Hope this helps.

Well that seems to indicate it's mould blown. Perhaps it's Scandinavian. Have you tested it with a UV light?

I haven't got one. But it really glows uranium green when sunlight hits it.
