    The vase boasts a refined, elongated baluster form (a slender body gently expanding upward and narrowing toward the neck) resting on a wide, stable circular base. The vase is characterized by warm, deep natural hues. The gradient transitions from a dark, almost black base with brown and deep burgundy undertones to an amber-orange and honey-yellow background in the central section. The tobacco flowers and stems emerge as dark, contrasting silhouettes.
