Special Notes:
The irregularities are random but evenly distributed across the entire surface, with no indication of being concentrated in one direction or worn out only on the handle. This strongly suggests that the texture was intentionally applied using molds or tools. Especially after the 1900s in Europe, many glass vessels with decorative designs were widely distributed as inexpensive daily necessities. In "mold-blown glass," where glass is blown into a mold, creating such textures (hammered, ribbed, bubble patterns, etc.) was part of the technique. Imperfect irregularities and subtle variations were favored as design elements in glassware, appreciated for their "warmth" and "homey texture" even back then. Particularly for café glasses and water tumblers, indentations were sometimes intentionally added to provide a non-slip grip and a natural fit for the fingers when held.
