This finely decorated vase displays butterfly, bird, and floral motifs executed in detailed wirework enamel over a shimmering copper-flecked ground. The surface shows rich sparkle and depth under light, particularly across the goldstone sections.

The vase has an elegant cabinet-sized form with a substantial brass rim and finely balanced proportions. Decorative panels feature floral and butterfly designs against contrasting dark and pale enamel grounds with scrolling vine work throughout.
