A rectangular cigarette case features bright blue enamel panels with a wavy texture. A silver border inset with rows of faceted steel studs surrounds the lid. Centered on the lid is a diamond-shaped floral motif of cut steel. A small, rectangular blue catch projects from the front edge. The flat box rests on a grey surface, angled to show its metallic edges and enamel sides.
