I know nothing about this except that I bought at my favourite thrift shop for 50 cents and I like it! I'd appreciate any input from you all on CW!
I know enough to know that it is blown and has a conical shaped pad foot that is much wider than the top of the fluted bowl. From experience I know that the a wider foot means “early”. There is no decoration except that there are an optical vertical ribs in the bowl that lead to the bowl. There is no pontil. It looks to be blown in one piece.

It stands only 10.5 cm or 4.1 inches tall.
The foot is 5.5 cm or 2.15 inches wide.
The lip is 3.5 cm or 1.35 inches wide.
