The broad, conical foot supports a hemispherical body with a conical cover. The finial is faceted into six sides like the tip of a spear its bottom is lined with Bourbon lilies. The foot, the body and the cover are painted with stylized Bourbon lilies and flowers in green, orange, blue and pink as dominating colours, connected by plaited foliage. The decoration is enframed with gold. This object was functioning as a jewel box. It is an outstanding masterpiece of historicizing-Art Nouveau Hungarian glasses, both from a technical and from an artistic point of view.
