The internal decoration is layered and complex: a diffuse pink glass mass occupies the lower and mid body, suffused with fine scattered inclusions that catch light across its surface. Rising through the pink ground is a concentrated cobalt blue form, irregular in outline, its surface scattered with fine particulate inclusions. Above the blue, a domed inclusion of gold aventurine glass — dense with metallic fleck — spreads outward in trailing filaments across the upper interior. Clear loop and scroll formations are suspended at the mid-level, and a ring of elongated clear bubble forms punctuates the outer perimeter of the piece when viewed from above. The base is ground flat and frosted, with a central pink inclusion visible from below. The piece is unsigned and carries no maker's mark or label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are no chips or cracks.
