THE STAR AT THE BASE
EXAMPLE OF “POMEGRANATE” AND “DIAMOND” CUTTING: NOTE THE “STAR” ALSO, CUT TO THE EDGE, AND THE SCRATCH ACROSS THE BASE CAUSED BY WEAR
In old cut-glass a star is often found, cut in the base of the vessel, under it; usually the old glass-cutters extended this star to the very edges of the base. In more modern cutting the rays of the star do not extend so far.
