Physical DescriptionDiaphragm. Almost colorless, with yellowish tinge; transparent deep blue. Blown; applied; grozed. Diaphragm between bottom of neck and top of wall. Neck apparently tapers, and top of wall expands; diaphragm, made by folding, is tubular and has internal diameter of 2.6 cm. Three intersecting blue trails extend across top of opening between inner edges of diaphragm. Almost all of lower neck and upper wall removed by careful grozing, thereby creating disk with central perforation and trailed ornament.
