Semi-spherical bowl cast from yellowish brown translucent glass. The mouth rim is banded by a rounded swelling and while the vessel walls fall in a gentle curve to the bottom of the bowl, the very base of the bowl is almost flat. The inner edge of the rim is circled by two thin, horizontal cut grooves, while the outer center of the torso is circled by one thin horizontal cut groove. Overall the surface is coated with a beautiful silvery iridescence layer.
