Glass, blown and cut. The baluster-shaped bottle stands on a spreading circular foot. It is cut with a geometric pattern of triangles, hexagons and zigzags. Attached to the rim is a silver mount. The pull-off silver cover has a narrow gadrooned rim below the ogee-shaped dome, which is embossed and chased with scrolls decorated with a chevron pattern. This is sumounted by a shaped-square finial.
