The Meteor shape by name is described in the WVMOAG Monograph No.59. To ask or describe if it is cornucopia by what you have seen, is based from another website that has a few of these shapes found on Kralikglass.com. I believe this design is a Meteor shape shift. Shell or cornucopia would be just a basic shape name as most would commonly see it.
thank you leah i did see that on kralikglass.com i think.. WVMOAG? im sorry i dont know what that is
