A decoratlve vase "A Butterfly"

This unusual vessel resembles a giant butterfly that has gracefully alighted upon a flower. Its wings, held aloft, appear to maintain balance. The symmetry of the wings is striking, yet subtle variations distinguish the “head” from the “tail.”

The wings themselves are adorned with colorful circles, artfully distributed across the vessel’s clear body. Each large circle boasts intricate edges, meticulously crafted from murrine. Within these circles, large round pebbles nestle like precious gems. Meanwhile, smaller, equally vibrant circles feature delicate rings formed by either tiny pebbles or murrine, all seamlessly fused to the surface.

In this fusion of form and function, the vessel embodies both elegance and whimsy—a testament to the artist’s skill and imagination
