The rim of the round base is chased with rosettes and stylized garlands of fruits. The fluted mode of the stem is in the form of a vase. The hemispherical bowl is decorated with chased fruit garlands and cartouches. One of the six oval fields of the funnel base is engraved with a scissors motif and the initials PS. This mark - probably that of a tailors' guild - was engraved later. Unidentifiable marker's sign.
