Topic: My favourite "celery vase"

Hmm..… not quite there yet.  Found this bowl with "thumb pattern rim".  I think it's fairly close to mine, although the ones on mine are really small, so direct comparison is difficult.  I'll see if I can find anything else with the thumb pattern rim.

I've just checked a Harbridge confiture and a Tudor confiture.
The Harbridge has nicks that turn out to be heart shaped around the rim, just like this celery - with a line down the middle.
It's been done by cutting twice. It just turns out heart shaped because of the curve of the glass and the edge.

The Tudor has a ring of curved cuts - no line down the middle where two cuts meet.

Both sets of cuts render the confiture unsuitable for drinking champagne.

Am not surprised I'm adrift regarding the naming of cat's feature on the rim of this celery, and admit to taking a bit of a humorous punt - but a mitre cut it is, and like most mitres it's created by making the cut with the edge of the wheel, thus you have two halves so to speak meeting in a bottom line of the cut.              On the bottoms of early C19 decanters etc., you can usually detect those mitres made by two passes of the wheel -  usually one side of the mitre is of a different length to the other  -  I'm not entirely convinced cat's celery rim cutting has been created using two cuts  -  but stand to be corrected.
It is different to a scallop cut - as described by Sue on the Tudor confiture  - which is a cut formed by a single radius curve and without the bottom line. 

"Found this bowl with "thumb pattern rim"  -  sorry, are we supposed to be seeing an image of a thumb print rim cat?
