The goblet has an ovoid-shaped bowl which measures 9.3 cm (3.7 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl thickens as it descends towards the stem. The bowl sits on an inverted baluster stem consisting of a wide, thick angular knop above a short, plain section and a conical foot which measures 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) in diameter. The goblet is 16 cm (6.4 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any evidence of restoration. There is a small burst bubble on the inside of the bowl about halfway down from the rim and another even smaller one below it.
