Though the lines of this Ardor bent Dublin are certainly smooth, the posture and presentation of this design fall firmly into the bold and sturdy thanks to a trumpeting flare to the rim, muscular transition, and overall quite substantial form. It's no blushing wallflower when it comes to grain either, with lively strokes of flame to either flank, and a fine showing of birdseye at the rim as well.
