Several glassmaker techniques produced pinched toes. A group of fancy unguentaria made in Italy in the first century had three pinced feet, but in the west toes and feet were most often made by adding small blobs of glass. In the late third and fourth centuries, Syro-Palestinian glassmakers commonly pinched multiple small pinched toes out of a base ring. In the early 3rd century, jars were produced with three long pinched feet in Syria and perhaps also in Egypt.
