The round foot supports a long body, splaying until the middle than narrowing again, ending in a straight neck and top rim. The whole body is decorated with a relief picture of a bird, sitting on seven flowery- leafy boughs. The picture is shaded in various tones of green, yellow and violet. Both the technique and the colouring follow the models of Emile Gallé, apart from the individually interpreted stylized lines of the picture.
