    The vase is crafted from multilayered art glass. The walls of the vessel feature an internal texture with a "bubble" effect (known as bubbled or poudre de verre / bullé glass), which gives it additional visual depth and texture. The piece boasts a refined silhouette — an elongated, tubular form set on a stable, circular foot (resembling a Berluze or trumpet shape).
    The decoration has an abstract, colorful character: a thin thread of black glass wraps around the vase in a continuous arabesque, while the surface is adorned with pink glass droplets arranged in a seemingly random pattern.
