Robust Baroque bottle made of clear glass, decorated with engraved winding acanthus ornaments and cut lenses. Two opposing sides feature round medallions with figurative scenes—a male figure with a spear and another with horns—executed in stylized gilt relief on a crimson background using the Zwischengoldglas technique, in which a thin gold foil is embedded between two layers of glass. The sides are adorned with deep floral cut decoration. The neck is fitted with a richly decorated metal collar with engraving.
