The broad foot conically rises at the centre it has a splaying rim and supports a part of four wings that holds the bulging and then again narrowing body with a broad, horn-shaped neck and a wavy, splaying top rim. The two sides of the body are decorated with handles, formed of swans with their head bent down. The whole surface of the vase is pink, striped by melted glass threads and spotted. The body of the swans are made of white opaque glass, their beaks and feet are of red glass. The form and the decoration of the vase are based on traditions of Venice-Murano glass art.
