The vase was created using the traditional swung-glass technique, in which molten glass is blown into a mold and then stretched while still hot to produce its distinctive organic shape and flowing contours. The deep sapphire blue glass displays excellent clarity and a vibrant appearance when illuminated.

The base is lobed and retains a polished pontil mark. A few small air bubbles from the manufacturing process are present within the glass, typical of handmade production and adding to its character.

The vase bears no markers, labels, or hallmarks.
