Condition

Overall in very good condition. With some small and minute air bubble and particulate inclusions, as well as a few small burst air bubbles, all inherent in the making and not visually detracting. The exterior with a few minor light surface scratches. The exterior and interior are beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with strong luminosity and heightening the visual depth of the carved decoration. The vase is exquisitely hand-carved displaying finely articulated details and dimensionality in the carving of the blossoms around the full circumference. The blossoms are further embellished with three carved beetles. There are two trailing vines that extend to the lower portion of the body, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The interior with surface soiling, heavier in the lower base region. When viewed firsthand, the scale is quite substantial and impressive and the colors are slightly more saturated with richer greens and blues than seen in the catalogue illustration. -----
