Vase
A tall blown-glass vase with a flared mouth and narrow waist, its opalescent blue-to-green body carved with stems, grasses and umbel-like flower heads. Yellow-green colour pools at the base and streaks upward, giving the vessel a soft, watery glow.
Look closer: Faint engraved umbel flower heads repeat up the upper body, easy to overlook against the pale glass.
