A vase with a silver exterior and silver gilded interior that flares at the top and bottom with a small circular relief design appearing as if it were hammered with a small tool similar to a repoussé-like texture. The vase has an undulating top edge that creates a gentle lip where the gilded interior is exposed. The body is detailed with low relief leaves and flowers with center gemstones elegantly connected with vines that surround the vase. An isolated three dimensional bee encrusted with two gemstones walks on the interior lip while a gilded bee with two jewels explores the body of the vase. Toward the bottom of the vase are four bands of different textures; a narrow unadorned shiny silver band, a wider hammered band, an unreflective equally wide band with a continuous curling vine and a thinner hammered band with a shiny angular unadorned base.

A drawing of six contour line sketches rendered in graphite of full or partial designs of Tall Bee Vase. The first sketch contains the most detailed design elements representing the vase with a flared, undulating top edge that contains a gentle lip, curving lines suggesting parts of flowers, leaves and vines with two dark circular features. Toward the bottom of the rendering are two narrow bands that extend across the width with an angled narrow base. The second rendering displays a slightly different design for the top edge, though having the undulating top, the rendering shows two curved lines drawn representing the neck of the vase. There is a space and three narrow bands drawn. The third sketch shows the top edge of the vase as a short horizontal straight line, a space, then two short lines representing the sides of the vase with a space and a wider, rounder bottom with a narrow angled base. A fragmented arrow begins under the top line and extends vertically to the base with an arrow facing downward with “11”” hand written in the center of the fragmented line. The fourth sketch is positioned under the first sketch displaying two different views on the vase. The top shape is an equilateral triangle in an aerial(plan) view with the top line extending past the line on the right. The vase begins in a front (elevation) view showing both side lines tapering outward to meet a large circle in an aerial (plan) view. The fifth sketch located under the second sketch consists of a design with different proportions than the fourth sketch. A circle drawn displaying a back elevation view, both side contour lines are drawn showing the wider bottom of the design with arrows horizontally placed outside the drawing labelled “13”” on the left side of the body. Below is a rendering of a smaller circle with a horizontal line outside the shape labelled “4,5”” in between dimension lines with arrows inside the circle. The sixth and final sketch shows a circular shape with another circle drawn with a fragmented line inside and near the circumference of the outer circle. The designer's signature is toward the bottom of the sketch underneath the sixth sketch.
