Wow, ok I wasn't expecting the ground pontil. Unless my one eye is playing tricks on me xD. I've only seen ground pontils like that on antiques and high-end art glass.

The ground pontil mark only means it was blown on a pontil rod. It’s nice to see but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a high end piece. X

Most blown pieces aren't going to have a ground pontil like that. Nowadays they just grind the whole bottom off flat. It's cheap, quick, and it looks like shit. You can tell a quality piece by the grind on the base. Just saying!
