Hello

The number of mould seams in pressed glass is entirely dependent upon the ensuring the ability to removed the formed object from the mould.  So in short, it is meaningless in determining who made your spoon holder. 

Companies who we can document as having made versions this pattern include Bryce Bros. and Gillinder and I suspect there were others.
