A frosted glass bowl with a matte, textured surface sits nested within a tiered cobalt blue stand. Fine horizontal striations wrap around the translucent white vessel as it tapers into the stand's flared rim. Below, a smooth blue neck flows into a wide, stepped circular foot. The piece highlights a stark contrast between the icy, matte finish of the upper bowl and the glossy, transparent depths of the pedestal.
