This Partylite Seville 3 wick holder replacement glass is pre-owned but in Excellent condition. There is an area on the bottom that includes a portil. Simply put, where they broke the glass away after the hand blowing process. It in no way hinders the use of the item and adds to the "one of a kind" feel. No scratches, chips or dings of any kind. There are a few bubbles in the glass adding to its beauty and letting you know, it is, in fact, hand-made. A "pontil mark" or "punt mark" is the scar where the pontil, punty, or punt was broken from a work of blown glass. The presence of such a scar indicates that a glass bottle or bowl was blown freehand, while the absence of a punt mark suggests either that the mark has been obliterated or that the work was mold-blown - Wikipedia
