The design depicts both large and small fantasy flowers, with the mouth rim also adorned in blue, adding to its charming aesthetic. The vase is made from high-quality stoneware with some visible brown particles, and the glaze is transparent with a faint light blue hue. A few unglazed millimeters at the bottom reveal the stoneware's natural beauty. The vase has a unique shape with flat four corners, sloping shoulders, and a widened mouth. While there are no labels or stamps underneath, the design and decor strongly resemble the work of berte jessen for royal copenhagen. A silver-colored sticker on the bottom reads: “hand-decorated stoneware, lead and cadmium-safe decor and glaze, dishwasher safe.” about berte jassen berte jessen was a notable artist in royal copenhagen's faience and stoneware department, working under nils thorsson.
