This is a vase featuring a depiction of blooming flowers on a gnarled tree branch. The vase's surface is predominantly black, with detailed white and pale-yellow blossoms and light brown branches. At the bottom are dark green shapes, similar to moss crawling up the side of the tree. The vase appears glossy, and the lip at the top of its narrow neck is flared.
