Vessel with narrow bottom and bulbous lower half tapers into a long narrow neck with an s-curve shape culminating in a mouth a few centimeters in diameter. The design on the neck and approximately half of the side of the vessel's body is designed with black striped smooth glass; the other hald of the body's side is articulated in a translucent pink color with a matte finish and repeated lozenge-shaped indentations in the surface. A blue stripe separates the two halves of the body's design. This shape is referred to as "dinosaur" by the artist.
