Description
The delicate flowers that cover the lid and base of this vase draw inspiration from the schneeballblüten, or guelder rose, pattern produced at the German Meissen porcelain factory. The flowers on the lid are spaced by small, unobtrusive perforations that allow the scent of the potpourri, a mixture of flowers, herbs, and spices placed inside this vase, to disperse.
