This glossy white porcelain vase is shaped like a squared bottle with curving handles at each side, arcing out from the shoulders to join the vase near the top of the long, narrow neck. The line of the handle and side is a smooth S curve. Painted on the front and side are large orange-brown lilies, one on each side, with muted green-brown foliage. Smaller white and yellow daisies are painted at the base of the lilies, growing up from the straight bottom edges of the vase.
