On a tall, hollow, funnel-shaped stem, there is a spherical node decorated with vertical ribs. Below and above the node there is a ring-shaped disk. The vessel is shaped like the flattened body of a fish with gaping mouth and a high held tail with an ending in the form of a little receptacle. The body of the fish is made of spirally curved grey and white threads. The ventral and the two dorsal fins are made of blue glass. In the middle of the back there is an extension in the form of a conical funnel with a bent rim made of blue glass, and three-dimensionally formed eyes.
The vessel was once in the collections of Max Strauss of Vienna and Erwin Weiss in Zagreb.
