The proportions seem perfect for such a simple form. The decoration is delicate, like the piece doesn’t weigh anything.

The delicate nature of the vessel is what attracts me to this piece. Both flowers are wonderful reflections of each other. The flower in the stopper has been stretched, while the flower in the bottle has been flattened. It’s amazing that the artist was able to create such lifelike flowers in such a small space.
