    The vase is made of multilayer glass implementing the marquetry technique. The lower part is rounded, smoothly transitioning into a narrower, elongated upper part, with an uneven rim imitating the shape of blossoming flower petals. The body is decorated with lilies with long stems in shades of orange and red against a bright yellow background.
