A truncated ovoid-shaped, mold-blown transparent blue glass vase. In the center of the vase are two sets of three-dimensional curved reliefs. The top of the vase appears as a rounded-rectangular opening, with thicker glass at the sides that appears bluish in tone. The base of the vase is more oval in shape, with the tapered sides forming rippled sections where the curved relief sections begin.

A transparent blue blown glass vase of slightly everted form, with a wide lip and small disc base. The surface is decorated with small black enamel-painted stylized figures, who appear to dance in rhythmic poses, and with small floral bluebell-like sprays.
