Condition
Overall in very good condition. The pewter with minor scattered surface scuffs and fine scratches throughout. A few areas of very minor pitting which appears to be inherent in production. The recessed areas with traces of polish as partially visible in the catalog illustration. The upper circular surface of the base with a few very minor shallow indentations. The original glass with minor air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in its production. The glass with a few minor scattered faint surface scratches. The neck of the vase with a slightly deeper scratch which measures approximately 1/2 inch. and is not visually distracting. An elegant form that combines the soft reflection of pewter with the delicate translucence of glass.
