The foot has a diameter of 4 3/8".

The Vase displays an extremely beautiful floral pattern of "Birds in Paradise" sitting on branches looking at each other. There is foliage surrounding the birds and there are 6 birds acid etched in the vase. The pattern repeats itself 3 times and covers the entire vase. You can see the whole pattern from any angle when displayed. The details in this vase were acid cut from Steuben's Jade Green to Alabaster Glass. The detail is outstanding and extremely delicate.
