    The vase features a complex tiered form consisting of three rounded spheres of different sizes stacked vertically. Inside the spheres, there are openwork apertures intended for holding individual cut flowers. The surface of the vase is covered with textured blue hydrangea blossoms. The composition is complemented by realistic molded details in the form of brown branches and leaves winding around the body of the vase. A small handle shaped like a twisted branch is located at the top.
