The piece is hand-blown and executed in the Fleckendekor technique, with colored inclusions embedded within a softly opalescent glass body. The vivid green rim and eight-lobed form demonstrate a high level of craftsmanship and reflect the transition toward more structured and modern forms in Bohemian glass production of the 1920s and 1930s.

Comparable examples of this model are illustrated in period catalogues and documented on Bohemianglass.org. Similar works are sometimes associated with Wilhelm Kralik, highlighting the shared techniques and stylistic overlap between Bohemian glassworks of the period.

The bowl represents a refined example of early twentieth-century Central European glass design, combining decorative surface treatment with a sculptural and balanced form. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
