As I recall, Ivo has been recently over to Gordiola Glass and been looking at the pontil mark finish on the bases of lots of the pieces there. I believe what was meant was that the finish on the base of your compote, in the middle where the punty was removed after blowing, looks as though it has been ground with a stone (probably Lafiore then) whereas those at Gordiola glass that Ivo saw, all had a snapped off pontil mark (I think I remember being said). Ivo will correct me if I have interpreted that incorrectly.
