     The vase features a massive body flaring towards the lower section, resting on a stable circular base, and elegantly expanding upwards into scalloped, soft undulating curves that form the petals of an opening flower. The body of the vase is decorated with half-bloomed magnolia buds in white and pinkish-purple tones with relief petals and dark, twisted branches winding around the body.
