The vase is a beautiful example of the influence of the Art Deco design language in glass art. With its flowing lines and reduced forms, it shows an abstraction of the female profile which, despite the stylisation, expresses the softness of feminine beauty. Alongside animals and floral depictions, depictions of women were among the most popular main themes of Art Deco.
