    The Art Nouveau glass vase features an oval, slightly elongated barrel-shaped body. It has a stable flat base, a gently widening body with soft shoulders, and a short, slightly collared neck with a flared rim. The design of the vase features a multi-layered landscape depicting silhouettes of trees. The lower part of the vase mimics a forest floor or grass in a rich emerald green hue. From this green base, vertical tree trunks reach upward, creating the illusion of a dense forest thicket. The middle section (background) is executed in a delicate, translucent sky-blue shade, evoking a sense of morning mist, open air, or a clearing between trees. The upper part of the vase transitions into a dense dark brown, almost black tree canopy with fine inclusions of green and golden glass powder that recreate the texture of thick foliage.
