    The vase features graceful, elongated tubular "diabolo" shape, gently flaring at the top and resting on a stable, conical base. The centerpiece of the composition is a large daisy, rendered in deep ochre-orange and amber tones. The dark, almost black center of the flower creates a striking contrast. From the blossom, relief green stems and carved leaves cascade down the entire length of the vase's body, seamlessly weaving into the overall composition. The color scheme is dominated by natural hues—ranging from deep grass-green and mossy tones at the base and rim to smoky-grey and golden tints in the central section. Subtle color transitions within the glass layers create the illusion of a living, vibrant natural background.
