The upper part of the forms a tall, slightly flaring cylinder with a smooth, even rim. The body expands, creating a rounded, bulbous, and low-slung silhouette reminiscent of a teardrop or an onion bulb resting on a small cylindrical base. The piece is crafted from multi-layered glass with powder inclusions of yellow, apricot, and rich orange pigments within the inner layer, which seamlessly blend into one another to create a realistic effect of a frosty sunset or the setting sun. The silhouettes of the bare, snow-covered trees, detailed branches, and the forest canopy are acid-etched, giving the decor depth, volume, and a three-dimensional perspective. The frost on the tree branches and the drifts of thawing old snow at the base of the vase are masterfully applied with opaque structured enamel, creating a highly expressive, tactile relief effect of frozen earth.
