Tall, slender cylindrical vase widens slightly at the top, with a flanged lip and tall stylized trees painted all around.

The ceramic vessel is a cool white-grey color, and elegant in its minimal design. Three thin sapling-like trees are painted in a medium grey-blue color, in the center and around the vessel in measured equal distance apart. The clusters of stylized leaves gather near the top of the vessel wrapping around the entire top, stopping just before the lip curves. They are evenly spaced along the bottom with empty space between the thin trunks.
