The broad, conically rising foot supports a long, egg-shaped body that ends in a long neck gradually widening towards the top rim. The rim of the foot is lined with stylised, Neo-Baroque foliage the middle is pared and faceted. There are five compartments constructed on the body, with faceted, geometrical decoration. The neck is partly pared, partly similar to the geometrical, faceted motifs of the body. The arched ornaments are bordered by stylised, floral motifs and a line of circles and ovals: the top rim is faceted in a zigzag way. The faceting of the object reminds us of Bohemian Neo-Baroque glass and partly of hispano-moresque motifs of historicizing, oriental elements. (See the donation register of the Zay-Ugrócz glass factory, 1896, IM Archives, KLT 144.)
