    The vase features a classic elongated silhouette with a rounded, massive base that transitions into a slender body, gently widening toward the top and finishing with a short, neat neck. The surface of the piece is entwined with a relief depiction of a grapevine, including finely detailed twisting branches, carved leaves, and heavy clusters of ripe grapes. A gradient, translucent background of "sunny" shades is utilized—ranging from amber-yellow and ochre at the top to a deep, dark brown (almost black) color at the base of the vase. This contrast emphasizes the effect of the glass's internal luminescence.
