Vase by Louis C. Tiffany. The vase is made of glass and has a wide mouth that tapers slightly inward. The body of the vase is bulbous and asymmetrical, with an irregular shape. It has a predominantly amber color with swirling patterns of gold, blue, and purple. The glass appears iridescent, reflecting light and displaying a range of colors. The base of the vase is not visible, but it sits on a white surface, casting a shadow. The background is black.
