The Vase has a wonderful background glaze that is Seafoam Green in color. There are two handles attached on opposite sides that start just beneath the top rim and extend all the way to the bottom where the vase attaches to the round foot.

This is a nice example both in form and Glaze. You collectors of "Gardenia" should not let this one pass you by. This Vase was made Circa 1950.
