    The vase, resting on a distinct circular foot, features a graceful body that smoothly expands at the bottom and a tall, elongated neck. The translucent background has a characteristic textured, frosted ("fond givré") finish that softly diffuses light.

    The intricate botanical motif, featuring branches, leaves, and open wild rose (dog rose) flowers, is achieved through multi-stage acid etching. The flower buds are highlighted in a rich raspberry-pink shade, while the foliage and stems are executed in deep, dark tones, creating an expressive contrast against the whitish, misty background.
