This vase is made up of an exquisite blend of silver and glass, embodying both elegance and delicacy. The removable inner body is made of smooth, transparent glass, encased in a fine silver framework.
The silver casing is intricately pierced, featuring motifs of flourishing floral bouquets beautifully chased draping over the center of the framework and decorating the upper and lower borders of the main body. Intertwined foliage ornaments are delicately engraved throughout the outer surfaces of the main body and round base
Among the floral designs, many wonderfully chased birds hover gracefully, their wings slightly spread as if caught mid-flight. These pairs of birds are depicted in a tender moment, their beaks just touching, evoking the idea of love and harmony which the flowers represent.
The craftsmanship of the pierced work and the interplay between the silver and glass creates a sense of lightness and movement, as though the flora and fauna are alive within the vase.
