Material:
Fine German Porcelain with "Echt Kobalt" (True Cobalt) glaze
Echt Kobalt (True Cobalt): This isn't just standard blue paint. "Echt Kobalt" means a cobalt oxide glaze was applied directly to the unfired porcelain and fused into the glaze at incredibly high temperatures. This is what creates that signature, deep, luxurious "ink-blue" finish that catches light with immense depth.
Accents:
High-polished gold gilding/gilt work: The detailing on the petals, the stems, and the pristine bands tracing the rim and base are executed in bright gold overlay, providing a stark, elegant contrast against the dark cobalt background.
The vase features a flared rim and a bulbous body adorned with an organic floral design—most notably a prominent iris or lily-style flower accompanied by smaller field blossoms.
