The splayed glass narrows in the middle and stands on a faceted bottom with sharp flutes. The body shows five almond-shaped, diamond faceted medallions, placed at equal distance from each other. There is an engraved geometrical and stylised floral decoration between them. A diamond faceted stripe decorates the glass just below the foot and top rim, enclosing a horizontal ring of gilt bronze, which ends in a handle forming a winged female herm.
