Silly prunt!

A prunt at the bottom of a Victorian glass bowl. A prunt is a decorative blob of glass fused to another piece of glass. Alternatively it could be a decorated pontil or punty scar (the piece of glass left when the glass blower's rod is removed

The tile of this post is just the fourth example on Google of prunt appearing directly after silly. To create the first ever incidence of a particular phrase on google I give you, in homage to novelist Henry Green, "punty fingers".

Don't worry if mush of this post makes no sense. It makes little sense to me either!
