The Vase by René Lalique features a teal-colored glass body. The vase has a round base with a fluted edge. A bulbous section is located below the middle. The neck of the vase is tall and cylindrical. The mouth of the vase is round and open. Two handles protrude from either side. The handles are attached to the body by three rounded knobs on each side. The background of the image features a gray gradient that is darker at the top and lighter at the bottom.
