The vase captivates with its classic, baluster-shaped silhouette, featuring a slender neck and flared rim. Particularly noteworthy is the masterful, flowing dégradé effect in the glass, transitioning from a light gray-white at the neck to a deep gray-blue at the body.

The front is adorned with an elaborate, raised enamel decoration in relief. The delicate blossoms (cherry or apple blossom) in subtle shades of pink and white are hand-painted and accentuated by filigree, gold-highlighted tendrils. The dark, rounded base with its knoped handle provides a harmonious color contrast and underscores the sculptural elegance of the design. The base displays the characteristic smooth kerf of traditional glassmaking.
