Across its cylindrical crystal body, clear faceted decoration frames repeating cobalt panels, creating a richly patterned surface that changes with the light. A radiating starburst decorates the underside, adding another flourish to an already striking piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA metal collar frames the opening beneath a lift-off lid with a rounded finial.
