indeed...
even the description agrees!
"it has a polished pontil scare to the base"

Were back to the hybrid glass again, great early recycling.

I wonder why though?
why would someone go to the lengths to add a bright green foot?
Please enlighten me.  Is the bowl particularly scarce/old/valuable?  what period does the foot belong to ... for that matter what period does the bowl belong to?

The foot looks late Victorian 1890's uranium glass and the bowl early Victorian 1840's at a guess.

The buyer has left brilliant feedback though! :O
