I think this is what you're looking for:
SHAM BOTTOM
A heavy, solid base on tumblers that's purpose is to add weight and clarity to the glass. Usually, a thicker sham bottom is associated with better quality.

the next is about glass-making in Canada:

and the last from the Corning Museum, history and techniques: http://www.cmog.org/index.asp? it includes answers to questions many teachers and students ask...
