The straw tinted glass with wide shallow bowl, moulded with fourteen ribs and undulating rim, set on a tall multi-knopped wrythen-moulded hollow stem formed of three globular knops over an inverted baluster, over a conical foot.
The straw tint is characteristic of much Spanish glass of the 16th and 17th centuries.
