DescriptionThis vase is made of lime green carnival glass with the Poppy Show pattern. The vase is shaped like a cylinder with wide lower body that narrows into the neck and base. The rim is curved in a ruffled design the moves up and down. The main body is split into four large panels, on each one is the same image raised out of the glass. The image shows a large collection of poppy flowers and plants piled on top of each other. The bottom has grass and large leaves while the middle has large flowers and leaves all attached to one stem as it moves up the vase. There is a slight iridescent sheen throughout the glass.
