A vertically oriented silver parasol handle features a top flaring into two symmetrical, heart-shaped openings crowned by a row of pale green and white flowers with orange centers. Below, a cylindrical stem is encased in translucent orange enamel, revealing an etched floral pattern underneath. Translucent yellow enamel fills the silver frames of the upper neck. At the very bottom, a matching small blossom rests on the base.
