Transparent ruby-red, and semi-transparent milky glass, the latter suffused with irregular bubbles and tiny white fragments; with a wide mouth, flat lip, and recessed, convex oval foot surrounded by a protruding flat oval foot rim; carved as a single overlay with an identical design of a formalized mallow flower repeated on each main side, the narrow sides with mask-and ring-handles.
