Blown and hand - shaped with a black base color ( actually deep purple ) and silver hand - painted decoration depicting stylized floral motifs. Its special feature is the repeating vertical and horizontal contour lines framing the silver painted embellishment. The formal structure of the glass vase is emphasized silver contours around the body and upper/lower rims.
