Campaniform beaker with a transparent greenish glass terminal knob, with many small bubbles. The lip is round and the terminal button is covered with opaque white glass. The decoration is composed of four sets of very fine and tight threads that go up from the bottom to the lip in a spiral movement. The fineness and fragility of the threads means that the white glass has disappeared. It is not a question of filandres but of a decoration voluntarily deposited.
