Colourless transparent crystal jug set upon a ring base, featuring silver mounts with interior gilding, including a neck collar with a pouring spout, a hinged lid equipped with a finial and a thumbpiece (stop), and a shaped handle. The upward-tapering cylindrical body is decorated in its lower section with oval cuts, multi-rayed stars, rosettes, and fan-cut facets, while the upper section features a "finger-cut" design; the bottom is carved with a starburst rosette. The ring-shaped neck mount is adorned along its upper and lower edges with a frieze of a laurel branch bordered by beadwork; the central section, which is free of decoration, features an artistically designed monogram "AG". Suspended from the lower section of the mount are flower and leaf garlands hanging from bows with intertwined ribbons. The lid is decorated with the composition of bows, and the finial is designed as a flower bouquet. The staple-shaped handle is decorated on both sides with the stylized depiction of eight-petaled flower on the long foliated stem, complemented by colored cabochon stone inlays.
