The vase features elongated pear-shaped form with wide, rounded body that smoothly tapers upward, transitioning into a tall, narrow cylindrical neck with a round open mouth. Two symmetrical, elegantly curved loop handles are positioned on both sides of the neck, connecting it to the upper part of the body. The base is rounded and slightly flattened.
The vase is crafted from art glass with delicate transitions of milky-white, cream, golden-yellow, amber, and pinkish-brown hues. The surface of the glass has a soft matte texture with picturesque vertical streaks that resemble flowing streams of light.
The vase body is adorned with a polychrome composition depicting wild forest mushrooms of various species, sizes, and shapes, featuring wide brownish-ocher and green caps, elegantly curved stalks, and expressively detailed gills. The lower section of the vase depicts grasses and vegetation, creating a natural frame for the mushroom composition. The decorative motif is concentrated primarily on the lower part of the body, while the upper section and neck retain the soft, iridescent pattern of the glass, emphasizing the elegance of its form.
