Fancy flowers with leaves on white enamel and gilded repoussed background adorn the vase body with convex spoon-shaped grooves. The crown is emphasized by a row granulated beads and filigree; a belt of stylized flowers with leaves on repoussed background is beneath. The vase base is decorated with geometric ornament. The enamels color scheme is based on the combination of white, red, green and blue shades.
