The upturned horn-shaped foot is topped by a ring that supports the baluster body with a long, cylindrical neck and a ringed top rim. The foot is blackish, the neck is covered with peacock lustre. The rest of the body is decorated with four peacock-blue, vertical lustre stripes against the bug-green base. The foot and the neck are enriched with lines painted in light green and gold lustre. Cat. Nos. 3.8 and 3.21 have a similar decoration. Both the shape and the decoration recall the ancient Egyptian motifs.
