Some of the molds included a stamp, usually on the base, as a trademark, although it remains uncertain whether this referred to the bottles or to their contents. On this example there is a name in the genitive case in large Greek letters on the base: it reads BACOY ("of Basos").Free picture Square glass bottle with base inscription integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
