A gold cigarette urn shaped like a tapered cup on a short, circular base features a bright turquoise enamel interior. On the exterior, irregular black blotches and swirling turquoise shapes with speckled white enamel create an organic pattern across the gold surface. These decorations cluster near the rim and toward the left, scattering downward across the smooth metallic finish.
