A glass vessel features a wide bowl atop a short, tapering stem and flared base. Its iridescent surface shimmers with emerald green, golden yellow, and deep violet over a dark, weathered foundation. Fine horizontal grooves encircle the rim like ripples. Much of the exterior is heavily patinated, showing flaky, pitted textures. Thin, light-colored lines wind across the body, giving the aged glass a worn, marbled appearance.
