A translucent golden glass vase with a rounded body and short neck. Dark brown and olive green floral motifs wrap around the surface in relief, featuring large blossoms with dark centers. Serrated leaves and twisting stems branch toward the sides, appearing opaque against the luminous yellow core. An etched signature appears near the base. The vessel's organic ornamentation and contrasting layers are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style.
