This vase stands just a little over 10 1/2".
The entire vase was acid etched and then the higher relief areas of the vines and leaves were enameled. The mill scene is unusual for Mont Joye.
The overall texture is called chipped ice. The vase has a polished base and pontil as well as the Mont Joye mark.
