About this work

Blown neck, pressed globular body of two layers of glass, the outer layer in a diamond pattern. High, slender neck, with remnants of a drip ring about two cm below the rim, hidden under a silver band. The convex silver stopper, attached to the band with a chain, is crowned by Bacchus, who raises his glass.
