flat stock trim that dies smoothly into the baseboard — with no traditional plinth-block at the bottom.

The base here adds a fine shadow line, but it is modest, without excessive detail or ornament. With smaller trim profiles (less than 5½ inches tall), I prefer a thinner trim stock (¾ inch). Likewise, the taller it is, the thicker it should be (1 inch or more).
