The base of the body features a deep-cut radial starburst pattern. The second decanter is a club-shaped or mallet-shaped vessel with a rounded body and a tapering neck. The neck is decorated with fine vertical ribbing. It features a flat, mushroom-shaped stopper with radial facet cuts on the upper surface. The body is decorated with a complex band of mitre-cut fans and cross-hatched diamond patterns above a base section of vertical blaze cuts.
