The plain, tapering vase stands on a narrow, straight foot. The shoulder line is spherical, the short, cylindrical neck ends in a straight, circular top. There are four grey bats flying in the sky below the stars in relief bordering the top rim. The bottom of the white vase is decorated with light blue and yellow clouds all round. There are three poppy seed stems springing upwards from the bottom. The perspective suggests that the light summer night scene is viewed from a higher spot.
