A clear glass lidded jar features a domed top with a spherical knob, a wide central bowl, and a bell-shaped base. Frosted botanical motifs of curling fronds and fern leaves decorate the lid and base, while the bowl remains plain. On the top, foliage sweeps toward our right. Below, upright leaves and tightly coiled shoots encircle the base. The composition balances smooth, transparent glass with matte, etched textures across the vessel.
