Source Description
Much of the bottle is worked in painted filigree enamel with large Usolsk-type blossoms in white with red, orange, and violet delineations. The supporting vines are in light and dark blue over a pale green background. In addition, much of the surface is covered with patterns of loosely curled wire filigree scrolls. Both the neck and the foot are decorated with blossoms and abstract floral motifs and rows of raised white circles. The silver gilt stopper with a cork seal is partly enameled with similar motifs and terminates in silver knob.
