At the rim, the glass transitions subtly to a lighter blue, depending on the light, emphasizing the precise, symmetrical proportions. The construction is robust, with meticulously joined glass and silver elements. The piece is preserved in excellent condition, free from damage or repairs, and the silver displays a gentle patina that enhances the depth of the ornamentation.

Its elliptical lines evoke a sense of harmony, and the subtle patina gives the piece a voice that bridges past and present, speaking to a reverence for skill and tradition.
