A small, flat, four-legged vase made of translucent blue glass. Many of its elements were hot-formed, including the base, the rim, and the lateral “teardrops” that extend from it and flow down both sides of the body. These embellishments, combined with metallic effects and gold accents, accentuate the organic quality of the material. The body is adorned with a polychrome enamel decoration inspired by Japanese art, featuring branches of cherry blossoms, ribbons, and cartouches containing geometric motifs reminiscent of Japanese textiles.

Several vases of similar shape are known today, varying in size. However, they are consistently distinguished by the color of the glass and the composition of their enameled decoration, making each piece a unique work of art.
