The glass has a plain bell-shaped bowl measuring 6.6 cm (2.6 inches) in diameter at the rim. The bowl sits on a colour twist stem consisting of an opaque white multi-ply corkscrew edged on one side in translucent emerald-green and on the other in opaque iron-red, a pair of heavy opaque white spiral threads between. The stem ends in a conical foot which measures 7.2 cm (2.9 inches) in diameter. The glass is 15.8 cm (6.3 inches) in height. There are no chips, cracks, significant scratches or any obvious evidence of restoration. There are a couple of tiny unburst bubbles in the metal of the bowl dating from manufacture.
