The broad foot rises conically in the middle, supporting the baluster-like, ribbed stem, which is decorated with glass thread applied and frilled while hot, and also with gold foil grains. The bowl forms a flower petal, with splaying, frilled rim. The foot and the body are decorated with alternating stripes in vetro a retorti technique, enriched with lace-like motifs and opaque, white, pink and copper aventurine glass threads. Both the form and the decoration of this object are based on the traditions of Renaissance glass of Venice-Murano.
