A tall, colorless glass vessel with a tiered lid tapers toward a faceted stem resting on a wide, scalloped foot. Intricate etched patterns of scrolling vines and small figures cover the central body, mirrored on the lid below a geometric knob. Light glints off the cut edges of the faceted stem and lower section. Sharp highlights appear throughout the clear material where light strikes the faceted surfaces and the scalloped edges of the base.
