Lower body probably moldmade. Slightly recessed underside surrounded by low ridge. On body, convex long petals, with groove at base, ridge and row of beading at top. Wheelmade shoulder: stamped circles between broad grooves, above stamped ovolo. Appliqué leaf at lower handle attachment; possibly a double handle.
