DescriptionThis is a flower-form vase with a base of transparent light yellow glass and a stem and bowl of clear glass. The domed base has a scalloped and folded edge and a ribbed surface that is speckled with gold. Thin green stripes on the stem extend to form five jagged leaves on the ribbed bowl. The top half of the bowl is opalescent white. The bottom of the base has a multicolored iridescence that is predominately orange-gold. The scalloped rim and top of the bowl have a purple-gold iridescence and the rest of the bowl's interior has a gold-orange iridescence.
