Condition
The colour is of a much browner, less yellow tone than the catalogue illustration suggests. The colour of the flowers is much more subtle with lavender highlights to the white flowers. The flowers and leaves are very finely carved. A vase of good form and size in overall good condition. There is a long stretched air bubble just to the left of the signature. Some usual wear to the underside.
