Design for a symmetrical vase, sitting on a raised foot, flaring out from the bottom, narrowing at the neck, topped with a lipped rim. Its ornamentation comprises an asymmetrical composition with three vine-like tendrils rising from the base of the vase, and terminating in lush leaves. One is short; two longer vines rise up the side of the vase, the largest of which leans over the top of the bowl.
