I haven't seen anything like it before.  It seems a little odd that the sides don't match style-wise...I think that's the case, isn't it? 

Can you supply a better photo of the red coloured 'ring' on one side?  If you could use the 'macro' on your camera (the little flower motif) that would be good, because otherwise we can't see how it might be made.   :)

Hello,the circles on to sides are pieces of copper with some kind of paint on it,and the yellow teardrops are formed by little pieces of copper with yellow glas.In both the red and the yellow circles is an opaline glas white spot!
I tried other pictures,but  nothing is better than the ones above!

Thank you Lisa

Are you sure it is glass and not lacquer? Reason I ask is that i once had a flat glass decorated panel in a similar technique and it fell apart when i cleaned it. -

Hello,when I put my nails to the vase it sounds very high,like crystal,and it `s weight is about 2,6 kilo,so I think it is crystal!
