the front of each vase features a cluster of applied, dark blue grapes hanging from a grapevine that wraps around the body.

each vase has a twin-handled urn form with highly stylized, "secessionist" sculptural handles that curve from the rim to the mid-body. They are finished with polychrome glazes, showing a characteristic art nouveau variance in color including shades of orange, brown, and green throughout.

vases of this specific model (often identified as model #3425) are highly sought after by collectors. The style is attributed to the peak period of austrian art nouveau (jugendstil), often associated with designers like paul dachsel, who was a prominent designer for the amphora factory.
