The vase is crafted from delicate light blue glass with a subtle swirling pattern, giving it an ethereal, almost marbled appearance. Its rounded, bulbous form elegantly narrows at the neck, accentuating the soft, flowing contours that enhance its graceful silhouette.

Adorning the vase is an intricate decoration of hand-painted enamel floral vines, delicately intertwined with gilded branches and blossoms. A prominent butterfly with finely detailed gilt wings is perched among the blossoms, adding a touch of naturalistic charm and capturing the delicate beauty of Art Nouveau design. The gold accents, including the finely lined gilt rim and base, highlight the vase's elegant form while imbuing it with a sense of opulence and refinement.

The base bears a hand-painted numbering mark, consistent with Harrach's cataloging practices, confirming its authenticity and origin. Harrach Glassworks, situated in the Czech region of Bohemia, was celebrated for its artistic collaborations and influence on European glassmaking, particularly during the Art Nouveau period. Their pieces are highly prized for their innovative use of color, gilding, and enamel work.
