    This elegant vase features a tall, narrow, slightly expanding body that tapers into a slender stem resting on a circular base. The surface of the glass is decorated with a botanical motif depicting dandelion leaves, executed in soft pink and green shades. Standing out against the backdrop of stylized leaves and flowers is a dimensional figure of a cicada with greenish-blue wings.

    The decor combines artistic glass etching with relief elements, creating an expressive effect of depth. The flowing lines of the botanical pattern emphasize the elongated silhouette of the vase and its refined proportions. The base is adorned with a relief ornament that harmoniously completes the composition.
