    This tall decorative vase features an unusual, elongated, and elegant silhouette. The lower section consists of a rounded, almost spherical body set on a low circular base. Rising from the body is an exceptionally long, narrow neck that tapers slightly in the middle before expanding gently at the top, terminating in a small flared rim with a rounded edge.

    The glass showcases a complex polychrome coloration, smoothly transitioning from dark green and olive-brown hues at the base to light amber-yellow and honey tones at the top. The flared rim is highlighted with a rich, dark green color.

    The surface of the vase is adorned with a floral motif executed in a relief technique. Stylized leaves and twisting stems are visible on the rounded body, organically following the curves of its form. The upper part of the neck features elongated botanical motifs resembling narrow leaves and shoots reaching upward.
