Lined Lattice mould and plunger

Above is the complete, jointed Lined Lattice mould, fully opened out. The base plate is in the middle of the shot, the plunger is on the right.

The entire mould, top ring, base plate and plunger fully assembled and locked in place, with the plunger fully inserted.

All the parts are shown - from the left; the top ring, the jointed mould that is now curved round into place and on the right, the plunger.

A close up showing the base plate for the rectangular foooted version. You can also see the detail of the pattern which is cut into the mould - the design thus appears in cameo (proud) on the finished glass vase.

The top ring which has the shaping for the top of the vase where the "flames" are. ("Flames" are the large flutes around the very top of the vase. The large pins that help lock the mould together.

In a delightful touch, Dugan-Diamond had their trademark cut into the mould. The trademark is not moulded on the actual glass.
