Condition
Overall very good original condition. When examined under black light, the vase presents with no evidence of prior restoration. The body of the vase with a few minor scattered surface irregularities to the surface, which are inherent in the production of the work. The outermost contours of the vase with a few light and shallow surface scratches from handling and use. A good example of the model that presents with good scale, which is not apparent in the catalogue illustration.
