Shell Edge 19
Description:
Undulating, elongated scallop with typical shell edge molded decoration. This decoration also includes molded forms similar to feather edge, with scroll-like elements extending into the body. Paired, mirror-image scrolls are separated by a spearhead or chicken-foot design. Sets of paired scrolls are separated by medallion-like elements above a diamond shape. The medallion occurs at the rise in the scalloped edge, while the spearhead occurs at the dip in the scalloped edge. Blue painted edge occurs only to the end of the traditional shell edge wavy lines.
