The narrow foot supports a broad, bun-shaped body that ends in a long, slim neck and an outwardly curving top rim. The flesh-coloured, soft glaze base is enriched on the two confronting sides with stylised four-lobed clovers and stylised crocus stems. The group of leaves cover the body of the vase in a broad field, reaching up along the neck to the top rim, in a crocus blossom. The vase is painted in green enamel and high gilding.
