Around the mouth and upper part of the neck are two rims of twisted blue and yellow glass. Around the lower part of the neck is a rod of pale blue glass and further down, around the bowl is a rod of white glass between two narrow bands of pale blue glass. On one side of the bowl are two yellow knobs, the points of which are slightly chipped.
