The Vase by Martinoff features a bulbous body with a narrow base that widens towards the middle, then tapers slightly towards the top. A dark lid with an ornate design and small finial sits atop. The vase showcases a monochromatic design depicting trees, foliage, and a figure in a long robe accompanied by an animal.
