The glass measures 13 cm (5.2 inches) in diameter across the bowl rim and is 17.7 cm (7 inches) in height. Its size would suggest that it was either a ceremonial or mixing rummer. The bowl is double ogee in shape and is plain. The bowl sits on a short capstan stem with a medial annular knop. The stem ends in a shallow, conical foot that measures 10.5 cm (4.2 inches) in diameter and which carries a rough pontil mark to the underside.

There is some light scratching to the internal surface which might suggest that it was, indeed, used as a mixing rummer.
