If it was made in a mould then the mould lines often had to be hand finished, so the prominence or roughness is down to the quality of the manufacture and the standard of finishing, whether mould blown or pressed. You can't blow a solid foot; you either have to attach it afterwards or press it. If the top is narrower than the bottom, think blown because you can't pull the plunger out if the top is narrower. Think bottles (and I mean that very loosely) when you think blow moulding. Blow moulded items are often made of bits stuck together; stemmed glasses are often made in two or three parts if you look closely.
