Outsplayed, rounded rim; short neck, joining imperceptibly with ovoid body, drawn out into a rounded, solid point.
A single unmarvered trail applied at bottom and wound round in a spiral at least 32 times, ending on neck, fine on neck and body but thicker and in high relief around pointed bottom.
Intact, except for large chip in rim with weathered edges, upper part of trail missing; pinprick bubbles and blowing striations; dulling, creamy white weathering, and iridescence.
