    The vase features a baluster (ovoid) shape with a wide, circular neck. The main focus of the composition is the vibrant orange-red tulips. The flowers and their long, slender green stems were applied while the glass was hot (in the form of fused glass overlays), creating an expressive, three-dimensional 3D effect on the surface. After cooling, the artisan hand-carved and wheel-engraved the ultra-fine veins of the petals and the texture of the stems. The body of the vase is crafted from translucent glass with a characteristically rough, textured surface (frosted effect). This creates a striking contrast between the rugged, ice-like background and the smooth, juicy petals of the blossoms.
