The cylindrical body of a straight shoulder line ends in a narrow, splaying top rim. The surface is decorated with broad, spiral stripes. The glaze is stained with shades of brown, while there is a larger, yellowish-gray stain at the shoulder. The embossed silvergilt mounts shape stylized fern leaves, starting from the foliage of the foot. The tips of the leaves bend forward, reaching out to each other.
