There is a banding of violet and yellow pansies and foliage; below this are incised inverted water drops and below is an ogee arched window-like incision that encircles the decanter. This is adorned with gold paint that follows the shape; in between each one is a gold rococo filigree. The bottom of the base is also clear. C: The center of the disk has an incised star where the clear glass is uncovered, then a golden circle, then a set of window-like ogee arched incisions that encircle the plate.
