The glass with scattered small air bubbles and particulate inclusions inherent in the making and not visually detractive. The interior of the vase is beautifully iridized, imparting the vase with great visual depth and dynamism. An exceptional example, displaying the highest artistry of Tiffany’s paperweight series, and masterfully executed to display vigorous abstract decoration around the full vase circumference.
