The jar, by artist Albert Ernest Gallé, is white with blue floral patterns, including leaves and swirls. It has a narrow opening at the top and a wider body that tapers down to the base. The jar's body is bulbous with a rounded shoulder. There are decorative lines and patterns around the top and bottom edges. The background of the image is gray, with the jar casting a shadow to the right.
