The short, conical foot of a lobed rim supports a flat, oval bowl with a short neck and a narrow, splayed top rim. The bowl is decorated with deep diamond faceting, showing an oval medallion in the middle, which depicts the emperor Francis I. (1792-1835) portrayed as a Roman emperor. The idealistic picture shows the emperor in profile, with a laurel wreath on his head. The top rim is faceted in a heptagonal shape the stopper has four lobes. With the embedded portrait, the piece represents a "sulphide " type glass of excellent quality.
