The Vase displays a thumbprint form with a 4 fold (Quatrefoil) top lip. The bottom of the vase is bulbous and has 3 (Thumbprint) Style indents in the glass. The Elongated cylindrical neck rises up from the bulbous bottom to form a Flower Form top lip. The base glass is Purple or deep Amethyst. The Iridescence is brilliant as you can see.
