Any thought's on this one would be good please, it looks well made and has some age with a polished pontil.

It measures 4 1/4 inches in height with a rim diameter of 4 1/2 inches.

Regards Chris.

The clear base section feels rough like sandpaper i think they are really unusual and really good quality, thanks both for your thought's.
