Detail of mold number

Detail of drip points. These are actually CDP but appear rounded because they were not fully formed, either because of underpour (not enough glass in the mold), or more likely as the result of glass being too hot when removed from the mold and the drip points melting or slumping before being placed on the annealing tray.
